I guess the correct answer here is,

Cleaning his room would not be adequate consideration for the additional Xbox time.

Ronnie Yu · Answer 2

Cleaning his room would not be adequate consideration for the additional Xbox time.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

Cleaning his room would be adequate consideration in exchange for playing Xbox. Cleaning his room would not be adequate consideration for the additional Xbox time. The contract is void as Gunnar is a minor. None of the above.

In this example, we learn that the $8 that Gunnar is paid a week include the task of cleaning his room. Therefore, if Gunnar wants to do something in addition to this in order to earn more time with his Xbox, he needs to do something that is extra. In other words, a task that he was already meant to do cannot be adequate consideration for an extra reward.
