question # 5
multiple choice
you go to see the local psychic and pay $50 for her promise to make you get straight a’s in school on your next report card. she performs a series of incantations designed to make you smarter than your teachers in every subject and ensures you that you will get all a’s. when you don’t get all a’s, but all f’s (because you relied on the incantations and didn’t study at all during the entire semester), you want to sue her. is this an available remedy?
no
yes

Explanation:

In contract law (a subfield of Law under Social Science), an available remedy requires a valid contract with legal enforceability. The psychic's promise relies on supernatural incantations, which are not a valid basis for a legal contract as they lack legal consideration and are against public policy (supernatural services are not recognized as valid in law). Also, the plaintiff (you) failed to fulfill their duty to mitigate damages (by not studying, which is a reasonable action to achieve good grades), so there's no available legal remedy.

Answer:

No
