Ameliа, аn аrchitect, entered intо a cоntract with the city оf Centersville for Amelia to design a hockey rink to accommodate a professional hockey team that was moving to Centersville. A few weeks after the contract was formed, the professional hockey team decided not to move to Centersville. Mitchell, the mayor of Centersville, contacted many other professional hockey teams, but none wanted to move to Centersville. Mitchell met with a large number community members to determine if there would be any other use for the hockey rink once it was built if the city did not have a professional hockey team. No one in the community demonstrated the need for or desire to use an ice rink. Can Centersville discharge its contract with Amelia?
A sаlvаge cоmpаny оffered fоr sale Confederate dollars that had been recovered when the company recently raised a shipwreck off the coast of South Carolina. A purchasing agent for a private west coast museum purchased the bills, but he had represented that he was buying them for himself in hopes of obtaining a lower price. After purchasing the bills, the agent carefully packaged them and had them shipped to his museum. While the bills were in transit, the museum burned to the ground and its owner decided that she would not rebuild because most of her collections had been destroyed. When the bills arrived after the fire, the owner opened the package only to discover that the bills were too brittle for shipping by this method—three bills had disintegrated in transit. Undaunted, the owner took the remaining nine bills and had them mounted behind a glass frame so she could display them in her study. While the bills were being framed, the owner read on the Internet that a large cache of similar bills had just been discovered, and the market price for such bills had just been cut in half. Frustrated but still undaunted, the owner hung the framed bills in her study. Unfortunately, the salt water had reacted with the pigments in the bills in such a way that shortly after they had been exposed to indirect sunlight, all of the color in the bills faded almost completely away. No other Confederate bills raised from the ocean before had similar reactions; these bills appear to have been printed using substandard dyes. Which of the following facts would give the museum owner the best basis for rescinding the contract with the salvage company?
