Two businesses sign a contract. The contract requires all work to stop at noon, local time. The parties disagree on the meaning of noon. The court will:

a)look at the intent of the parties to define noon.

b)apply the most reasonable meaning of the word noon.

c)tell the parties to settle the matter between themselves.

d)always apply the literal meaning of a simple word like noon.

E)apply the literal meaning of the word since there is no ambiguity.
