I'm going to have to go with B. The first two statements are spot on, but the third one about silence is a bit of a head-scratcher. Sounds like someone's trying to trick us here!

I agree, B seems like the correct choice. Silence usually doesn't count as misrepresentation.

Option B is the way to go. A misrepresentation is a false statement, and it makes the contract voidable. As for the third statement, I'm not sure - that one seems a bit iffy to me.

I'm going with B. The first two statements are accurate, but I don't agree that silence can generally amount to a misrepresentation. That's a bit of a stretch.

I think the answer is D. All three statements are correct - a misrepresentation is a false statement of fact, it renders the contract voidable, and silence can amount to a misrepresentation in certain cases.

Option B seems correct to me. A misrepresentation is a false statement of fact, and it does render the contract voidable. However, silence generally does not amount to a misrepresentation.
