Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The court held that the lender could foreclose only on the husband's interest in the property and not the wife's because she was not a party to the debt. A valid mortgage requires an underlying debt and the signature of the party to be bound and in order to have the mortgage against the full property.
