Answer to Question 1

respondeat superior

Rationale: Respondeat superior leaves the employer responsible for the employee's negligence.

Answer to Question 2

the chin was too extended

Rationale: If the base of the skull superimposes the odontoid process, the chin needs to be tucked down to align with the teeth. This will push the base of the skull up.
