,Answer:

-Marcus is owed something by Super Corp because he relied reasonably and to his detriment on Super Corp's offer.

Explanation:

Employment contracts can be written, oral, or implied and each of these are binding to some extent.

In the given instance it is required that employment should be written in the state where Super Corp operates.

So Marcus will not be able to compel them to give him a job as the offer was made and accepted orally.

However the offer resulted in him quitting his current job, which paid $75,000 a year, and heading to the state where Super Corp was headquartered.

He relied on the offer to his detriment of losing his current job, so Super Corp owes him for the damages incurred
