Example wrong choices
20370_dove_mug_notice · CONTRACTS · Choice APaul, because a merchant buyer that accepts delivery of nonconforming goods is bound to pay for them at the contract price.
Why it's attractive
This choice reaches the seller-wins side and uses the real accepted-goods idea. The breaker is that acceptance alone is incomplete because timely notice can preserve defect remedies.
Why it's wrong
Same seller outcome, but acceptance alone is an incomplete reason because timely notice can preserve nonconformity remedies.
Spot it next time
Force the same-outcome wrong-reason check: winner side is not enough; reason must match the trigger fact.
20370_dove_mug_notice · CONTRACTS · Choice BLydia, because a merchant seller is not entitled to the price of nonconforming goods if a reasonable inspection before shipment would have disclosed the nonconformity.
Why it's attractive
This choice makes seller inspection sound like a fair commercial responsibility. The breaker is that it invents a price-action defense not supplied by the UCC notice path.
Why it's wrong
The seller-inspection condition is an invented bar to the price action.
Spot it next time
Cut invented commercial-sounding requirements unless the rule or stem makes them controlling.
20370_dove_mug_notice · CONTRACTS · Choice DLydia, because the mugs did not conform to the contract of sale.
Why it's attractive
This choice uses the most visible fact: the mugs did not match the order. The breaker is that the call asks whether Lydia preserved that defect defense after months of silence.
Why it's wrong
The defect is real, but the price-action call turns on whether Lydia preserved the remedy after discovering it.
Spot it next time
Name the call: seller price action after buyer silence, not abstract nonconformity.
