This passage is taken from an eighteenth-century letter from a president to the citizens of the United States of America. (1) So likewise, a passionate attachment of one nation for another produces a variety of evils. Sympathy for the favorite nation, facilitating the illusion of an imaginary common interest in cases where no real common interest exists, and infusing into one the enmities of the other, betrays the former into a participation in the quarrels and wars of the latter without adequate inducement or justification. It leads also to concessions to the favorite nation of privileges denied to others which is apt doubly to injure the nation making the concessions; by unnecessarily parting with what ought to have been retained, and by exciting jealousy, ill-will, and a disposition to retaliate, in the parties from whom equal privileges are withheld. (2) As avenues to foreign influence in innumerable ways, such attachments are particularly alarming to the truly enlightened and independent patriot. How many opportunities do they afford to tamper with domestic factions, to practice the arts of seduction, to mislead public opinion, to influence or awe the public councils? Such an attachment of a small or weak towards a great and powerful nation dooms the former to be the satellite of the latter. (3) Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake, since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it. Excessive partiality for one foreign nation and excessive dislike of another cause those whom they actuate to see danger only on one side, and serve to veil and even second the arts of influence on the other. Real patriots who may resist the intrigues of the favorite are liable to become suspected and odious, while its tools and dupes usurp the applause and confidence of the people, to surrender their interests. (4) The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities. (5) Our detached and distant situation invites and enables us to pursue a different course. If we remain one people under an efficient government, the period is not far off when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we may take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent nations, under the impossibility of making acquisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we may choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel. (6) Why forego the advantages of so peculiar a situation? Why quit our own to stand upon foreign ground? Why, by interweaving our destiny with that of any part of Europe, entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or caprice? (7) It is our true policy to steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world; so far, I mean, as we are now at liberty to do it; for let me not be understood as capable of patronizing infidelity to existing engagements. I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy. I repeat it, therefore, let those engagements be observed in their genuine sense. But, in my opinion, it is unnecessary and would be unwise to extend them. In paragraph six, the author refers to a nation that has "peace and prosperity" and to those that have "ambition and rivalship" to

A student grаduаted аt the tоp оf his law schоol class and was immediately offered a job with a prestigious law firm making $100,000 a year. The student studied hard for the bar exam and passed the exam. A week before he was to begin at the law firm, he received notice that, due to budget cuts, he lost his job. The student looked for work, but at that point, most attorney positions were already filled. All he could find was work as a paralegal for $60,000 a year, and he chose to turn that down. The student finally found work six months later, making $90,000 a year. The student sued the original law firm for breach of contract. Assuming that there was an enforceable contract for what would have been the first year at the original firm, what are the student’s damages?
After severаl weeks оf negоtiаtiоns, two friends аgreed over the phone that one would buy the other’s art collection. “Let me review our agreement,” the buyer said to the seller. “I will purchase all 74 of the oil paintings listed in your letter of last week, including their frames, for $874,000, to be paid in 24 monthly installments, after a down payment of $374,000.” “Exactly,” said the seller. “Just apprise your lawyer of the terms and let him prepare a contract.” The buyer’s lawyer prepared the contract, which provided, “The buyer agrees to purchase from the seller, and the seller agrees to sell to the buyer, the 74 oil paintings named below. The buyer agrees to compensate the seller $374,000 at this signing, followed by 24 monthly payments of $20,833.33 to be paid on the fifteenth of each month.” The buyer made the down payment, and the seller delivered the paintings without their frames. The buyer asserted an action against the seller to recover the frames. Which of the following statements is the most accurate?
