choices

  1. The woman, because her promise was gratuitous.
  2. The woman, because the insurance company owed her a pre-existing duty to find the painting.
  3. The detective, because he did the act necessary to constitute an acceptance of the woman's offer.
  4. The detective, because the market value of the painting exceeded its insured value, so there was sufficient consideration to support the woman's promise.
