Final answer:
The Statute of Frauds requires that certain contracts, such as those for the sale of real estate and contracts in anticipation of marriage, be in writing to be enforceable. Answer choices suggesting the statute covers no contracts are incorrect as it does apply to specific contract categories.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Statute of Frauds is a legal doctrine that requires certain types of contracts to be in writing to be enforceable. Among the contracts generally covered by the Statute of Frauds are:
- Contracts for the sale of real estate,
- Contracts in anticipation of marriage (such as prenuptial agreements),
- Contracts to pay the debt of another,
- Contracts that cannot be completed within one year,
- Contracts for the sale of goods exceeding a certain value (as defined by the Uniform Commercial Code).
Therefore, the correct answer would be a combination of contracts for the sale of real estate and contracts in anticipation of marriage. Answer choices suggesting that the Statute of Frauds covers no contracts are incorrect, since the doctrine specifically applies to certain categories of contracts to prevent potential frauds arising from oral agreements in significant transactions.
