问题     A guarantee is defined in the Statute of Frauds 1677 as "a written promise made by one person to be collaterally answerable for the debt, default, or miscarriage of another".
    There are therefore three parties involved in the guarantee situation, although only two are in a contractual relationship arising out of the guarantee document, the creditor and the guarantor. The party who is owed the money, or whose rights are protected, is known as the creditor and the person owing him the money, or who is under an obligation to him, is called the principal debtor. The guarantor, or surety as he is sometimes called, therefore assumes a secondary liability and in effect says to the creditor; "if the principal debtor does not meet his liabilities to you, then I will".
    There are similarities between a contract of guarantee and a contract of indemnity, but the difference is that an indemnifier assumes primary responsibility himself and in effect he says to the creditor "I will see that you are paid". The distinction is important, for whereas a guarantee to be enforceable must be evidenced in writing according to the Statute of Frauds 1677 , this is not the case with an indemnity and an indemnity given orally would be enforceable, although understandably it might be difficult to prove to a court that such a contract had been entered into.
    In point of fact, nearly all bank guarantee forms are drafted in such a way that not only do they constitute a contract of guarantee, but they are also an indemnity. The advantage of this is that it gives the bank rights against the party signing, even though the bank might find itself with no fights which it could exercise against the principal debtor, for in such circumstances a contract of guarantee alone would be unenforceable. In other words, enforcement is not dependent on the efficacy of the Contract between the creditor and the principal debtor.
    Guarantees may be executed by hand or under seal, but if by hand they must be supported by consideration. The consideration usually given by a bank is of course the loan of money to the principal debtor, or the agreement to continue to allow borrowing facilities for a further period of time.
______are the parties with contractual relationship derived from the guarantee document.
选项 A、The creditor, the debtor and the guarantor
B、The guarantor and the debtor
C、The guarantor and the creditor
D、The debtor and the creditor
答案C
解析 文章第二段提到There are therefore three parties…the creditor and the guarantor．担保合同巾相关的当事人是债权人(或被担保人)和担保人。债务人并不是担保合同中的当事人。
