Anything of value given to induce entering into a contract.

A later mortgage that takes priority over an earlier one.

C

A county clerk certificate authenticating a notary.

D

A witness clause at the end of a will.

Correct Answer

A. Anything of value given to induce entering into a contract.

Detailed Explanation

This is a straight glossary point from "Definitions and General Terms." The booklet defines consideration as anything of value given to induce entering into a contract, including money, services, or even love and affection. Not to be confused with a subordination clause, consideration explains why a contract is entered in the first place.
