In AoCI, which combination represents the essential elements of forming a contract as listed in the material?

• A. Agreement of offer; Consideration; Intention
• B. Agreement of offer; Consent; Intention
• C. Agreement of offer; Consideration; Capacity
• D. Agreement of acceptance; Consideration; Intention

Answer: (A)

The main idea being tested is what must be present for a contract to be formed. In most basic contract rules, you need an agreement that comes from an offer and its acceptance, plus something of value exchanged (consideration), and a clear intention to create legal relations. The material lists these essential elements as an Agreement (arising from the offer being accepted to form a binding arrangement), Consideration, and Intention. The option that states Agreement of offer, Consideration, and Intention fits this wording because it captures the idea that a binding agreement is created from an offer (and its acceptance) and that there must be consideration and an intention to be bound. The other options introduce elements that aren’t required as core elements of formation here—Consent isn’t the essential ingredient, Capacity is about who can enter a contract (a validity factor but not one of the three formation elements shown), and phrasing like Agreement of acceptance is less precise about how the agreement is formed.
