a) False. Long is not an intended beneficiary. An intended beneficiary is a third party of the contract designed to benefit from it. The contract is very broad which states to train all high school drop outs of a city.
b) False. See a above. Intended beneficiary should be specific, e.g. if the contract was for Graham to train people including L , then L would be an intended beneficiary.
c) True. It is incidental that L dropped out of High school. For example, L may have remained in school or continued transfer to another school in another city.
