An agreement to do or not do a certain thing is known as a?

  1. Promise

  2. Deal

  3. Contract

  4. Pledge

The correct answer is: Contract

A promise is simply a verbal commitment and does not have a legal obligation. A deal is a general term that does not have legal implications. A pledge, similar to a promise, does not have the legal weight of a contract. A contract, on the other hand, is a legally binding agreement between parties and outlines the details of what is expected from each party. It is the only choice that accurately describes an agreement that is legally enforceable.
