Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Utilizing the CISG, the French seller may prevail. The CISG requires that the notice of deficiency of goods must specify the nature of the nonconformity. Utilizing the UCC, the American buyer may prevail. The UCC does not require the buyer to describe in detail the deficiency of the goods.
