Weaver contracted to purchase silk from Spinner, with shipment to be made by rail (the least expensive method) before March 4.Due to a railroad workers' strike, Spinner could not make shipment until March 12, and Weaver now refuses to pay. What impact does this delay have?

Question 8 options:

a)

None. Weaver received the silk and is required to pay.

b)

None. Weaver's duty to pay was suspended during the temporary impossibility, but resumed when the circumstances causing the impossibility ended.

c)

Weaver's duty to pay will be discharged due to impossibility.

d)

Weaver's duty to pay will be discharged, notwithstanding the end of the circumstances causing the impossibility, if conditions have changed sufficiently during the temporary impossibility such that performance would now be substantially more burdensome for Weaver.
