Definition: In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision. Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.
Input: to that fact. A jury could infer that Kudner made the statement with the intent to induce the plaintiffs to sign the agreements and that the plaintiffs relied on the statement: Krupnick's and Schapiro's affidavits and testimony indicate that their signing the agreement was contingent on Avecia's obtaining the registrations. (Exhibit P-6, Krupnick dep., 7/14/00, at 87; Krupnick aff. 17, 18; Schapiro aff. 29, 30.) There is evidence that the plaintiffs' reliance on Kudner's statements was justified: Kenline testified that it was Avecia's responsibility to obtain the Reputex registrations and that Avecia had more regulatory experience than the plaintiffs. (Exhibit P-53, Kenline dep., 7/26/00, at 696); Wilmington Trust Co. v. Aetna Cas. & Surety Co., 690 A.2d 914, 916-17 (Del. 1996) (<HOLDING>). Finally, there is evidence of damages: the
