question

A woman leased a condo from the owner for a period of one year. After six months, the owner gave the woman a written option to purchase the condo for $100,000 before the expiration of the lease. With the owner's approval, the woman spent $10,000 to have the kitchen remodeled to her personal specifications. One month before the end of the lease, the owner notified the woman that he was revoking the option to purchase the condo. One week later, the woman delivered a written notice of acceptance of the option, but the owner refused to sell. If the woman initiates suit for breach of contract, which of the following is her strongest argument that an enforceable contract was formed between her and the owner?

options

  1. After the woman paid to have the kitchen remodeled, an option contract resulted, because the owner knew the woman was relying on the offer to her detriment.
  2. Because the woman had indicated her intention to stay by remodeling the kitchen, the owner cannot revoke the option to purchase.
  3. Because the owner was a merchant, the written offer was irrevocable for a period not exceeding three months.
  4. Because the owner's offer invited a return promise as acceptance, the woman manifested her intent to accept by remodeling the kitchen.
  5. Because the woman had started using the condo as her own by remodeling it, this signified her acceptance of the purchase option.
  6. Because the woman had lived in the condo for more than half the lease period, she has the right to purchase the property.
  7. Because the woman had until the expiration of the lease to accept the offer, the owner's revocation would be ineffective.
  8. Because the owner had given written option to purchase the condo, the owner cannot revoke it unilaterally.
  9. Because the woman had spent a significant amount on remodeling the kitchen, she had vested interest in the property thus forming an enforceable contract.
  10. Because the woman had received written approval from the owner for remodeling, this constituted as acceptance of the purchase option.
