Patience Terrell · Answer 1

a. negotiable.

Explanation:

Gail's instrument is likely to be considered "negotiable." Negotiable instruments are written contracts whose benefit could be passed from one holder to another. Negotiable instruments, therefore, are documents in which payment is promised to a particular person. The instrument usually outlines the sum of money that will be transferred, as well as the time frame in which this is to take place.
