To hold a defendant liable in negligence, the plaintiff has to show that
 
  A) defendant's actions resulted in damages
  B) defendant did not intend to cause harm
  C) defendant's breach of duty of care was due to a mistake
  D) defendant was mistaken about whether a duty of care was required

Question 2

The defendant rents out inflatable rooms where children can bounce inside without hitting
  anything sharp. The defendant has repeatedly mended a corner of a room, where rips and tears
  have occurred due to frequent use. The repairs are not visible. Parents rent such a room for a
  child's birthday party, inflate it and set it up in their backyard. Children bounce around inside the
  room, but one hits the mended corner, pushes through, and gets injured after hitting the ground.
  When that happened, the parents had been in their kitchen, getting cake and ice cream. When the
  parents of the injured child sue the defendant for damages for the child's injuries, the defendant claims
  that they were contributorily negligent. The parents of the injured child will defeat the claim of
  contributory negligence by
 
  A) noting that the defendant rented the rooms for profit
  B) saying that they had no knowledge of the peril from the mended corner
  C) claiming that defendant violated state and federal laws
  D) claiming that the defendant had been successfully sued before

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
