Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

B) Once the car was stolen and badly damaged, the subject matter of the contract (the car in good order and condition) no longer exists in the state it was at the time of the offer. This change materially affects the basis on which the offer was made, preventing Z from accepting it as if nothing had changed.D) The offer has come to an end because the fundamental basis of the offer (the car in good order and condition) has been altered by circumstances beyond the control of either party. The condition of the car being in good order and condition was a critical aspect of the offer, and with the car now damaged, the original offer cannot be accepted.
