Question

After executing a contract with the defendant, the plaintiff advertised that he would be showing the defendant's world-famous hog at the state fair. All his advertising emphasized that the hog, the American champion, would be exhibited at the fair. On June 20, the hog contracted a highly contagious and frequently fatal disease of hogs. The defendant notified the plaintiff on June 22 that, because of the disease, he could not exhibit the hog as agreed. When the plaintiff advised the public that the hog would not be appearing, many people who had planned to purchase tickets changed their minds and did not do so. The plaintiff subsequently asserted a claim against the defendant for damages resulting from the defendant's refusal to exhibit the hog as agreed. Which of the following additional facts, if it were the only one true, would be most likely to result in a judgment in favor of the plaintiff? Question 8 options: a) On May 1, the defendant was aware that many hogs in the area had contracted the hog disease. b) On June 21, the state learned that the hog had contracted the hog disease and issued an order prohibiting the exhibition of the hog. c) On June 22, the defendant owned a hog with qualities equivalent to the other hogs. d) On the day of the trial, the plaintiff could prove exactly how much revenue the plaintiff lost as a result of the defendant's failure to exhibit the hog.
