Question

Holly comes into Matthew's bicycle shop to learn about the Easy Ride bicycle she saw in his newspaper ad. Matthew shows her the floor sample of the bicycle and says that it is designed to shift and brake more easily than her current model does. She decides to purchase one. Matthew gets a box from the back of the shop and sells it to her, stating that it contains the bicycle Holly wants. Based on his statements, which of the following is not an express warranty created by Matthew:

a. that the bike conforms to the floor sample he showed to Holly.

b. that the bike conforms to the highest industry safety standards.

c. that the bike conforms to his description of the Easy Ride.

d. that the bike conforms to his promise about the bicycle's shifting and braking ability.

Answer 1

b. that the bike conforms to the highest industry safety standards.

Reason

An express warranty is an agreement where a seller is bound to repair or replace a faulty product within a period of time. In this question, Mathew never confirms that the product does have the highest safety standard, neither Holly asks for it. So, it is not an express warranty created by Mathew.
