Answer to Question 2

A bailment involves transferring possession of goods to one who is not the owner. To create a bailment, the bailee must assume physical control with intent to possess and return the property or deliver the property to whomever the bailor designates.

C) Yes, this is a bailment. As the owner of the lawn mower, you are the bailor. The neighbor is the bailee. The neighbor is taking physical possession of the mower. This is a bailment for the sole benefit of the bailee.
