Answer to Question 1

Capacity is the legal ability to enter into a contract. Two groups of people usually lack legal capacity: minors and those with a mental impairment. Because a minor lacks legal capacity, he or she can only create a voidable contract. This means that when a minor enters into a contract, he or she generally may choose between enforcing the agreement or negating it. A minor who wishes to escape from a contract generally may disaffirm it; that is, he may notify the other party that he refuses to be bound by the agreement. A minor may disaffirm a contract by simply telling the other party (orally or in writing) that he will not honor the deal. Or he may disaffirm a contract by refusing to perform his obligations under it. A minor may go further-he can undo a contract that has already been completed by filing a suit to rescind the contract; that is, to have a court formally cancel it.

Answer to Question 2

C

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
