Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Sid has detrimentally relied on Quinn's promise by building a structure to keep RV, then Quinn cannot renege on the promise as it would cause harm to Sid. Therefore, choice D is correct. Choice A is incorrect as it is irrelevant whether Quinn asked Sid to build anything or not. Choice B is incorrect as Quinn's desire to sell the RV to someone else does not invalidate his promise to Sid. Choice C is also incorrect as it is not relevant whether Sid can obtain a similar RV for a similar price.
