arrested for illegally smoking marijuana unless Weaver rents the apartment to him for $100 per month. (This was true.) Weaver reluctantly agrees to rent the apartment to Willy for that amount. Willy also wants to buy Weaver's car. Weaver runs back the odometer on the car before Willy test drives it. Willy is impressed by the low mileage and agrees to buy the car. Weaver also offers to sell Willy a ring for Willy's fiancee. Weaver tells Willy that the ring is a diamond and believes that to be true. After the deal is made, however, a jeweler friend of Weaver's informs him that the ring is a fake. When Willy shows up with the money, Weaver says nothing. He just hands Willy the ring and takes the money. Later, Willy finds out that the odometer was run backwards from another friend to whom Weaver confided. Willy also finds out from his girlfriend that the ring is a fake. Which of the following is true regarding Willy's rights in regards to the car purchase? He will not be able to rescind the contract because Weaver made no affirmative statements. He will not be able to rescind the contract unless he can prove that he expressly asked Weaver if the mileage was run backwards on the car and Weaver failed to reveal that it had been altered. He will not be able to rescind the contract because the mileage alteration did not affect the engine of the car. He will be able to rescind the contract because of duress practiced by Weaver. He will be able to rescind the contract because of the fraudulent misrepresentation of Weaver
