1. During their Thanksgiving dinner, Dad handed a written and signed memorandum to his Daughter, who was in her senior year in high school, that if she would go to college he would pay her tuition, room and board and give her a $500 bonus for each "A" she got in school. Uncle was present when Dad handed Daughter the memo, and added "and if he doesn't pay, I will." Dad paid the expenses for the first year but passed away before Daughter's 2nd year in college. The executor of Dad's estate (the person by Dad's will who is supposed to administrate all the assets) is now refusing to pay for the college expenses. Daughter goes to Uncle and asks him to pay, and he refuses. If Daughter sues Uncle, what is his best defense:
2. There was no consideration for his promise
3. Dad's death terminated the agreement
4. The agreement was oral
5. His offer was a joke

Once you pick an answer, explain your reasoning for that answer choice as well as why the other choices are incorrect.
