Upon graduating from college, Kathy announced her plans to enter law school the following fall and to marry Rick in December. Kathy's father was afraid that marriage during her first year in law school might cause her to fall behind in her studies or cause her to drop out of school. He called Kathy and promised her 10,000 if she postponed her wedding until after completion of her first year of law school. Kathy agreed and postponed the wedding for a year. Kathy successfully completed her first year of law school, but soon thereafter, Kathy's father died. The administrator of her father's estate claimed she was not entitled to the 10,000 because there was no consideration for her father's promise. If Kathy sues the estate, she will probably be
 A) unsuccessful because her father's death terminated the contract.
 B) successful, as there was consideration.
 C) unsuccessful because her father received no benefit.
 D) unsuccessful because it was merely fatherly advice not to get married during the first year of law school.

Question 2

If Becky promises not to drink alcohol until she becomes a legal adult in exchange for Ben's promise of 1,000, the agreement is
 A) enforceable because Becky is giving up the right to do something she would otherwise be entitled to do.
 B) enforceable because the agreement accomplishes Ben's goal of keeping Becky from drinking.
 C) not enforceable because Becky does not have a legal right to drink alcohol.
 D) not enforceable because Becky is a minor and could disaffirm the contract.
