Select one:
A. Void.
B. Unilateral.
C. Divisible.
D. Entire. - ANSWER ✔✔-C. Divisible. A contract is divisible if each party's performance can be divided
into two or more parts and if it appears that the parties to the contract contemplated separate
compensation for each installment of the performance. Failure to perform one installment is not failure to
perform the entire agreement. If the contract is divided into parts only to provide periodic payments
toward the full amount due upon contract completion, the contract is an entire contract, not a divisible
one. When possible, courts prefer to interpret contracts as divisible to avoid hardships that can result
from delaying payments under the contract until full performance has been completed.
