Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The plain meaning rule states that the court must determine the meaning of a contract by examining the words of the contract itself, rather than considering extrinsic or outside evidence. Therefore, the face of the contract or the written terms and provisions contained within it should be the reference point for determining its meaning. Choice A and B are incorrect because they both refer to extrinsic evidence, which is not considered under the plain meaning rule. Choice D is also incorrect because later testimony of the parties is not admissible as evidence when interpreting a contract under the plain meaning rule.
