Hi sir, the correct answer there is C. But shouldn’t it be wrong because acceptance is related to the time it is posted, not the time it is received? I’m confused. I understand why the other options are incorrect, but I don’t understand why C is correct.
Special Books Ltd sent Rose an offer for her to purchase a rare book. The offer had to be accepted within five days of the date on the letter. Rose intended to accept the offer and purchase the book.
Which of the following statements is true ?
A.Rose may have a legitimate claim if she faxed acceptance of the offer on the fifth day but it was not received by Special Books Ltd until two days later
B.Rose may have a legitimate claim if she posted a letter of acceptance on the third day but, because she used the wrong address, Special Books Ltd did not receive it for another week
C.Special Books Ltd may sell the book immediately to another customer if an acceptance is not received from Rose within the time period specified
D.Special Books Ltd did not specify a method by which Rose should communicate acceptance because specifying a method of acceptance is not allowed by law
