• B. True

(Golden Principle 2 states that " The Particular Conditions must be drafted clearly and unambiguously. " Which statement best underlines this Golden Principle in relation to the FIDIC Red, Yellow, and Silver Books (both editions)?)

• A. Clarifications to the meaning of tender documents together with answers to tenderers' inquiries made during the tender period by the Employer can be inconsistent. If Sub-Clause 1.5 does not provide for the right order, this Sub-Clause can be amended explicitly or implicitly, and this can be done through any of the documents mentioned in Sub-Clause 1.5.
• B. In the Particular Conditions, all changes to the General Conditions must be clearly identified by reference to specific Sub-Clause numbers. Additionally, the Particular Conditions Sub-Clauses must clearly indicate the relationship between the newly introduced text and the corresponding General Conditions Sub-Clauses' original text, e.g., addition, omission, replacement, or amendment.
• C. Modifications made to the Conditions of Contract during tender negotiations that were only documented in emails between the Parties can be part of the Contract as long as those emails are subsequently included in the List of Contract documents. In such a case, it is not necessary to incorporate those modifications in, for instance, the Particular Conditions.
• D. When clarifications are given during the tender period, which might impact several general conditions, it is not necessary to amend all these conditions through the Particular Conditions or to consider which exact general conditions require amendment, as such clarifications are deemed to be self-explanatory.
