Choice (b) is correct because Kevin has anticipatorily repudiated the contract by informing Jim that he would not be able to make the trip. As a result, Jim can seek damages from Kevin for breach of contract.

Choice (c) is also correct because Jim can wait until June 1 to see if Kevin will perform his contractual duties. If Kevin does not show up on June 1, it would be considered a material breach of the contract.

Therefore, both (b) and (c) are correct answers.
