Work through the chapter in order:
1. Which party or parties hold the option?
2. How long is the option and is the period defined?
3. Which juristic view on duration or ownership applies?
4. Who possesses the goods, and are they intact, destroyed or defective?
5. Was there an affirmation or rescission?
6. What do notice to the other party and the option holder’s death change?
7. Is the dispute really about an absent promised attribute, rather than the stipulated-period option?
