Two brothers, Sam and Jim, were fighting over the division of their ancestral property.

When Jim takes this contract to court, the contract will be declared __________.

I'm very confused by this question. Does the third party involvement of the politician make the contract voidable? That's my opinion but I'm not certain. Thank you.

Your opinion is correct. The contract will be declared voidable because Jim was subjected to extreme duress, which resulted in him signing the contract against his free will. The involvement of a third party in this case does not affect the voidability of the contract.

Name the factors of the following story, the setting, and various other things about it,

“Then, the human race must indeed be great?” I asked uncertainty in my voice, I did not desire to offend Goliad, it might have sounded to him as if the gorilla race was nothing, “Right?”
“The race of men is great in its own way,” Goliad said, “Dwarves, nisses, goblins, and welf, all have there own way of doing things. They all do it well too.”
Now the land before us was made up of stone slopes and a few trees jutting out from the rocky land. The land was growing steeper and steeper, still we followed the stone path. No longer made of dirt but by cobblestones. The massive shadows of the Desertless Mountains cast over us.
“This road,” Goliad said as we walked up the slopy road, “Is just one of the few roads that cross over the Desertless Mountains from this direction.”
“Will we pass through the snow?” I asked, somehow I then realized that I had grown comfortable with speaking to him, that amazed me. I had managed to surprise myself, or maybe it was that Goliad was just very warm, and I like any normal creature wanted to flee to his warmth.
“The snow?” Goliad asked, I nodded and then Goliad spoke, “We will cross through the snow. Yea, we must be careful and hope that no snowstorms sweep the mountain passes. We would not want an avalanche as we pass through. It would be bad luck.”
“With my kind of luck, there will be a storm,” I muttered to myself in a low tone.
“What?” Goliad asked, “I could not hear what you said, shucks Wolfson, you have to speak louder. I must be deaf.”
“I said,” I spoke up, “That with my luck there will be a storm, and I will get swept away in an avalanche, and then you might get too. The universe hates me so!”
“The universe hates me?” Goliad voiced my words over again, as if thinking about every syllable, “It’s funny you should say that, it just sounds like you are the despairing kind of fellow.”
I frowned and then shrugged, the two of us hurried along. Towards those cold tall mountains. I could only hope that nothing bad happened, this was one of my largest challenges yet. Would I overcome it, as I had all the others thus far? I had Goliad’s, who would help me much. I hoped. But did he truly have the good intentions he claimed to have? I did not know.

Settings: A stone slopes with a few trees, rocky land, cobblestones path, Desertless Mountains.

Characters: The narrator and Goliad.
Other factors: There are different races like dwarves, nisses, goblins, welf, and humans mentioned in the story. The narrator is uncertain and does not want to offend Goliad. The narrator is comfortable speaking with Goliad, who is warm, and the narrator wants to be close to his warmth. The narrator expresses his fear of getting swept away in an avalanche due to his bad luck. There is a sense of doubt and uncertainty regarding Goliad's good intention towards the narrator.

To determine the answer to this question, we need to understand the concept of duress in contract law.

Duress refers to the use of force, threats, coercion, or undue influence to make someone enter into a contract against their will. If a contract is signed under duress, it may be considered voidable, meaning the party who signed under duress has the option to either affirm the contract or void it.

In the scenario you provided, Jim was subjected to extreme duress by the politician, which means that he was forced to sign the contract against his will. Since Jim was not acting voluntarily, the contract can be considered voidable. Therefore, the correct answer would be C. voidable.

It is important to note that while the involvement of the politician is relevant in determining whether the contract is voidable, it is ultimately the duress imposed on Jim that makes the contract subject to being voided.
