A. Seize another gown from Chinyere’s shop
B. Regard the contract between them as terminated
C. Sue Chinyere for specific performance
D. Sue Chinyere for damages

Correct Answer:

Option B – Regard the contract between them as terminated

Explanation

When a breach of contract occurs or is alleged, one or both of the parties may wish to have the contract enforced on its terms, or may try to recover for any financial harm caused by the alleged breach. If a dispute over a contract arises and informal attempts at resolution fail, the most common next step is a lawsuit.

Halimah can regard the contract as being terminated
