To lighten a passenger plane which is coming perilously close to hitting some trees, the captain of
  the plane orders the crew to eject all luggage. Doing so lightens the plane so that the captain can gain

  damages due to the loss of luggage, the airline likely will avoid liability by claiming the defense of
 
  A) public necessity B) mistake of law
  C) private necessity D) mistake of fact

Question 2

  A) an unavoidable accident B) public necessity
  C) an Act of God D) private necessity
