Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An order of specific performance is appropriate in this scenario because it is a court order to compel a party to perform a specific act, typically used when monetary damages are insufficient to remedy the breach of contract. In this case, it would compel Denise to fulfill her contractual obligation by turning in the grades.
