Hale · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

First of all, advertisements are not formal offers, they are considered invitations to negotiate. So no contract can exist based on an advertisement.

Besides that, April's ad was about one computer being sold. Even if the six people contact her and start negotiations, she only needs to accept one offer.
