Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ratification occurs when a person approves or affirms an unauthorized act that was performed on their behalf. In this situation, if Carly chose to enter into a repayment agreement with Elena, she would be ratifying Elena's unauthorized act. This would make the act binding on Builders, Inc. and Carly would essentially be acknowledging that she approves of the act. The other options do not constitute ratification. A) Asking Delta Bank to prosecute Elena would not ratify the act. B) Discharging Elena from Builders's employment would not ratify the act. D) Filing criminal charges against Elena herself would not ratify the act.
