acceptance means giving consent to an offer by the offeree.when an acceptance is given,the offeree is giving his consent to be bound by the terms of the offer.this act of giving consent to the offer concludes a contract and the consent given cannot be revoked.this is why it is said that "acceptance is to an offer what a lighted match is to a train of gunpowder"
