Sonia Keller · Answer 1

The correct option is d) only the face of the instrument

Explanation:

Here when Leilani is entering in to a contract with Metro taxi company to work as a cabdriver, the contract made by the Metro taxi company has clearly stated the terms of condition for the job of cabdriver and it is told in the question that the terms of contract were unequivocal which means all the terms and condition were clearly stated and there was no confusion regarding any of the detail.

So when under the plain meaning rule, the meaning of the terms would be determined only the basis of what is written in the contract not on any extrinsic evidence or something which is not there but only on the face of the instrument.
