Answer 1

The correct legal outcome for the dispute between Theresa and Huan is that b. Theresa will win because Huan's attempted assignment would increase the duties to which she agreed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct legal outcome for the dispute between Theresa and Huan is option Theresa will win because Huan's attempted assignment would increase the duties to which she agreed.

Contract Assignment is the transfer of rights and obligations under a contract to another party. In this case, Huan wishes to assign the contract to his grandmother, but Theresa objects because her duties would increase significantly if she had to mow the grandmother's yard.

Usually, parties cannot assign a contract without the consent of the other party, and any assignment that increases the duties or obligations of the other party is considered invalid. Therefore, Theresa would win the dispute because Huan's attempted assignment would indeed increase the duties to which she agreed.
