Answer to Question 1

Judgment will be for ABC for 350. ABC had exercised due care by securing its premises and having a commonly-used, properly-working alarm system. As a result, Nelson, the bailor, must bear the loss of the bailed property (the computer). Additionally, because ABC had performed the requested services (repair of the computer) before the computer was stolen, and because the computer was stolen through no fault of ABC's, ABC is entitled to be paid for its services.

Answer to Question 2

B

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
