personally i would say false but i’m not sure what the correct answer would be :)))

Answer:

The statement is: False.

Explanation:

When talking about contracts, the consideration characteristic refers to an amount of money that is going to be provided on exchange for the fulfillment of a promise. That promise involves providing the party making the payment a valuable object in return.

Thus, in the case exposed there is no consideration since the mother is willing to give her 16-year-old daughter $1,000 to avoid using cigarettes but nothing valuable is being provided to the mother for her money.
