Answer: A,B

Explanation:

The correct answers are; A written agreement between two robbers to rob a bank which states that the money gained would be split evenly between the two AND a domestic agreement between two parents about who will pick the kids up from school. There are 3 instances when a contract isn’t considered a contract and these are; illegal activity (like example A), a social or domestic arrange-ment (like example B) and when something is an ‘Invitation to Treat’. See p.2-3 Remember con-tracts don’t have to be written – they can be verbal (example C), the exchange doesn’t have to be fair (example D) and it can be implied by conduct (example E).
