QUESTION 31

1. Robert and Thomas signed a written contract which stated that Robert would loan $10,000.00 without interest to Thomas to be repaid on or before May 31, 2017. Thomas did not repay the full amount of the money until May 31, 2018, so Robert sued Thomas for one full year of interest at the legal rate on the $10,000.00 loan. At trial, Thomas wanted to testify that Robert e-mailed him, just before the due date, stating that the money could be repaid as late as May 31, 2018, without any penalty. Should this testimony be admitted into evidence?

   	A.	No, because Thomas's payment was still one year late
   	B.	Yes, because it satisfies the statute of frauds
   	C.	Yes, because it is relevant to Thomas's defense
   	D.	No, because it conflicts with the original written contract in violation of the parol evidence rule QUESTION 32
