    b. A common - carrier delivery contract

    Explanation:

    Ralph has order furniture from Good Times. The contract with common carrier for delivery is ambiguous. The contract does not specify whether the Good Times is liable to deliver the furniture to the Ralph's home or it is Ralph's responsibility. The risk of loss is now by the Ralph because the contract does not specify the liability to Good Times for the damage caused to furniture by the truck wreck.
