Multiple Choice
Sylvia had contracted with Produce Palace to sell her entire crop of elephant garlic (100 kilograms) and her entire crop of tomatoes (100 kilograms) . On the day for delivery, Produce Palace took the garlic but not the tomatoes. In her effort to mitigate her loss, Sylvia called the owner of Val's Veggies and offered her the tomatoes at a reduced price with the words, "Let me know quickly, because they are ripe and must be moved out today." That afternoon, Val sent Sylvia a letter accepting the offer. On these facts, which is the most likely outcome?
A) There is a contract between Sylvia and Val the moment Val dropped the letter of acceptance in the mailbox.
B) There is a contract between Sylvia and Val the day the letter of acceptance is received by Sylvia.
C) There is no contract between Sylvia and Val because Sylvia had revoked the offer.
D) There is no contract between Sylvia and Val because the offer has probably lapsed before the acceptance was received by Sylvia.
E) If the postbox rule does not apply, there would be a contract as soon as Val mailed the letter unless Sylvia had sold the tomatoes to someone else.
