Detailed explanation-3: -Some things promised will not be enforced, those which are illegal or against public policy such as gambling debts, purchase or sale of drugs, or other unlawful conduct.

Detailed explanation-4: -A promise to make a gift is unenforceable because a transfer of property is made by one party without return consideration from the other party.
