What does "merchantable quality" mean in relation to a used vehicle?

  1. A used vehicle with no previous accidents

  2. A used vehicle of certified quality by the manufacturer

  3. A used vehicle of merchantable quality has no hidden defects and will provide reasonable transportation for a reasonable period of time

  4. A used vehicle that meets emission standards

The correct answer is: A used vehicle of merchantable quality has no hidden defects and will provide reasonable transportation for a reasonable period of time

Context When purchasing a used vehicle, it is important to understand the meaning of "merchantable quality". This term refers to the condition of the vehicle, and specifically means that the vehicle should have no hidden defects and should provide reasonable transportation for a reasonable period of time. Option A is incorrect because "merchantable quality" does not necessarily guarantee a vehicle has no previous accidents. Option B is incorrect because certification by the manufacturer does not necessarily mean the vehicle has no hidden defects. Option D is incorrect because "merchantable quality" is not only determined by emission standards, but also includes other factors such as overall condition and functionality of the vehicle. Therefore, option C is the best answer as it fully encompasses the meaning of "merchantable quality" in relation to a used vehicle.
