Answer:

The answer is: George will win the lawsuit

Step-by-step explanation:

George and Mary had a legal binding contract, in which each party agreed to:

  • Mary agreed to pick up George's horses and care for them during his two month trip.
  • George agreed to pay Mary for her work as horse keeper.

If Mary breached the contract by failing to perform her part, George is entitled to sue her.
