A handshake seems like a clear acceptance, but I wonder if there are situations where it wouldn't count.

I think accepting a delivery might imply acceptance of terms, but I can't recall if there are exceptions to that rule.

I remember discussing how silence generally doesn't indicate acceptance, but I'm not completely sure if that applies here.

I've got this! Silence is not acceptance, and the other options all involve some form of active acceptance. The correct answer has to be A, silence.

Okay, let me think this through. Silence is generally not considered acceptance, so that's an easy one. Accepting a product delivery and an invoice seem like they could be forms of acceptance, so I'll rule those out. That leaves a handshake as the most likely answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on contract law to refresh my memory on the different ways a contract can be accepted.
