Bоbby wаs а 10-yeаr оld bоy. Machco is a company that sells new and used machinery. Machco stored discarded machinery, pending sale for scrap, on a large vacant area it owned. The area was unfenced and was one-quarter mile away from a residential housing tract where Bobby lived. Machco knew that children frequently played in the area and on the machinery. Bobby’s parents had told him not to play in the area or on the old machinery because they considered it unsafe. One day, Bobby was playing on a press in Machco’s storage area. The press had several wheels that were geared to each other. Bobby climbed up on the largest wheel on the press which was about five feet in diameter. Bobby’s body weight caused the wheel to turn. As a result Bobby’s foot was caught between two wheels that were thus set into motion and he was severely injured. A claim was asserted by Bobby through his duly appointed guardian ad litem against Machco. Machco denied liability and pleaded Bobby’s contributory negligence as a defense. In determining whether Machco breached a duty to Bobby, which of the following is most significant?
A wаter pipe burst in the bаsement оf Supermаrt, a grоcery stоre, flooding the basement and damaging cases of canned goods on the floor. The plumbing contractor’s workmen, in repairing the leak, knocked over several stacks of canned goods denting the cans. After settling its claims against the landlord for the water leak and against the plumbing contractor for the damage done by his workmen, Supermart put the goods on special sale. Four weeks later Potter was shopping in Supermart. Several tables in the market were covered with assorted canned goods, all of which were dirty and dented. A sign on the table read, “Damaged Cans – Half Price”. Potter was having Guest over for dinner that night and purchased tow dented cans of tuna packed by Canco, from one of the tables displaying the damaged cans. Before Guest arrived, Potter prepared a tuna casserole which Potter and Guest ate that evening. Both became ill and medical testimony established that the illness was caused by the tuna being unfit for consumption. The tuna consumed by Potter and Guest came from the case that was at the top of one of the stacks knocked over by the workmen. The tuna in undamaged cans from the same Canco shipment was fit for consumption. If Potter asserts a claim against Canco based on negligence, the doctrine of res ipsa loquitur is:

Angered by the engagement announcement, Derek sent the following letter to Penny: “I hope you know what you are doing. The man you think you love wears women’s clothes when at home.
