Answer:

Sean arranging the interview with his boss

Step-by-step explanation:

Consideration in contract law refers to something of value or a benefit that is exchanged between parties involved in a contract. It is something that party A gives to party B in exchange for another consideration.

Consideration is the main reason why a contract exists.

Sean arranged the interview in exchange for Mark sharing his pottery prize.
