B) By refusing the offer as it involves an unreasonable condition.

C) By offering to pay Jud the $500 without fulfilling the condition.

D) By suggesting a different action in place of running through the cafeteria.

Answer 1

Mike can accept Jud's offer by confirming his acceptance and fulfilling the specific action required by the offer, which is running through the cafeteria shouting 'I am the walrus!' So, the correct answer is A) By telling Jud he accepts the offer and carrying out the specified action.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question relates to the acceptance of an offer in a contractual agreement.

Mike can accept Jud's offer by telling him he accepts the offer and carrying out the specified action.

Performing the action is necessary because the offer includes a condition that must be satisfied for the acceptance to be valid.

Therefore, the correct answer to how Mike can accept the offer is A) By telling Jud he accepts the offer and carrying out the specified action.

Accepting the offer verbally alone without fulfilling the condition or offering to pay without carrying out the condition, and suggesting a different action, would not constitute acceptance of the offer as it was presented by Jud.
