Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

This question asks about the interpretation method for an exemption clause within a contract. 
Option a: 'a. RNT' stands for a term that is not a standard acronym used for contract interpretation methods in this context, making it an unlikely choice. It reflects a misnamed or invented shorthand rather than a recognized approach. 
Option b: 'b. PER' similarly appears to be an incorrect or nonstandard acronym for contract interpretation, and there is no widely taught 'PER' method corresponding to interpreting exemption clauses by the whole contract. 
Option c: 'c. Reasonable person test' correctly describes the approach of interpreting the contract, including the exemption clause, by looking at the natural and ordinary meaning of words through the lens of how a reasonable person would understand them. This aligns with the typical law principle of construing contracts as a whole and giving terms their ordinary meaning. 
Option d: 'd. RBT' is not a recognized principle in contract interpretation for exemption clauses and seems to be a distractor that mislabels the standard method used in this context. 
In summary, the question hinges on identifying the conventional interpretation approach that treats terms in light of ordinary meaning and the contract as a whole, which points to the 'Reasonable person test' rather than the other nonstandard acronyms or labels.
