choices
- No, because the woman's order was too indefinite to constitute an offer, since it didn't contain a price term.
- No, because even if the woman's order was a valid offer, it was effectively revoked prior to acceptance.
- Yes, because the woman's order created a valid option contract.
- Yes, because the manufacturer's fax of March 10 constituted an acceptance of the woman's offer.
