Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 19 treats an interest taking effect on an event that must happen as vested, unless a contrary intention appears. The wife’s death is certain to occur; postponing enjoyment until that event does not by itself make the temple’s interest contingent. Section 21 instead concerns a specified uncertain event. No additional survival condition is stated here.
