If a minor contracts for necessaries, the minor's liability is quasi-contractual in nature. This means that:
 A) the minor is not required to pay the contract price.
 B) the firm does not need to pay the minor because the contract is voidable.
 C) the minor must pay the contract price to prevent the firm from being unjustly enriched.
 D) the minor's parent or spouse needs to pay the reasonable value of what was received.

Question 2

An agreement between Jim and his 18-year-old daughter, Betty, provides that he will give her 25,000 if she does not marry until after her 22nd birthday. One month after reaching the age of 22, Betty, still unmarried, claims the 25,000. Jim refuses to pay, claiming that the agreement was illegal. Is Jim correct?

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

No. Judgment will be for Betty. It is the policy of the law to encourage marriage. Thus, a contract that prohibits marriage under all circumstances or places broad or general restrictions on marriage generally would be held void as contrary to public policy. However, contracts that place reasonable restrictions on marriage generally will be held valid. In this case, the restriction that Betty not marry until she is 22 is reasonable and, therefore, is valid. Thus, Betty is entitled to the 25,000 in accordance with the terms of the binding contract between her and her father.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
