A) Yes, because Sylvia, as a guarantor, has no rights to oppose any action of the bank.
B) Yes, because while Sylvia has certain rights in regard to actions taken by the bank, she had no right to oppose the provision of a grace period since it is unlikely that allowing such a grace period would impair Sylvia's interests.
C) No, because Alice should have obtained the written consent of Sylvia in the form of an affirmation of the guaranty in view of the grace period.
D) No, because as a matter of equitable business practice, Alice should have put Sylvia on notice although Alice did not increase the bank's exposure by failing to do so.
