or car with a person who the lender knows, or should know, is
likely to use it in an unreasonably risky manner is known as:
A. Contributory negligence
B. Negligent supervision
C. Negligent entrustment
D. The dangerous instrumentality doctrine
Answer: C. Negligent entrustment
Rationale: Negligent entrustment occurs when a party provides a
dangerous instrument (like a vehicle or weapon) to someone
known to be reckless or incompetent. The lender must know or
reasonably foresee that the person is likely to misuse it and cause
harm to others.
,Question 2: The failure to exercise the degree of care that a
reasonable person in a similar situation would exercise to avoid
harming others is the definition of:
A. Tort
B. Negligence
C. Breach of contract
D. Strict liability
Answer: B. Negligence
Rationale: Negligence is defined as the failure to act with the
level of care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise
under similar circumstances. This is a foundational concept in tort
law.
Question 3: A wrongful act or omission, other than a crime or a
breach of contract, that invades a legally protected right is a(n):
A. Negligence per se
B. Tort
C. Immunity
D. Breach of duty
Answer: B. Tort
Rationale: A tort is a civil wrong (not arising from a contract) that
causes harm or loss, resulting in legal liability for the person who
commits the tortious act.
,Question 4: A person or organization that has committed a tort is
known as a:
A. Plaintiff
B. Defendant
C. Tortfeasor
D. Guarantor
Answer: C. Tortfeasor
Rationale: The term "tortfeasor" specifically refers to the party
who commits a tort. The plaintiff is the injured party who files the
lawsuit.
Question 5: Under which legal doctrine is negligence inferred
simply by an accident occurring, without direct proof of the
defendant's specific careless act?
A. Negligence per se
B. Res ipsa loquitur
C. Proximate cause
D. Last clear chance
Answer: B. Res ipsa loquitur
Rationale: Res ipsa loquitur (Latin for "the thing speaks for itself")
allows a presumption of negligence when the accident is of a type
that ordinarily would not occur without someone's negligence
, and the instrumentality causing harm was under the defendant's
exclusive control.
Question 6: A common-law principle that prevents a person who
has been harmed from recovering damages if that person's own
negligence contributed in any way to the harm is called:
A. Comparative negligence
B. Assumption of risk
C. Contributory negligence
D. Last clear chance
Answer: C. Contributory negligence
Rationale: Under pure contributory negligence, any fault on the
plaintiff's part—no matter how small—completely bars recovery.
This harsh rule has been replaced by comparative negligence in
most jurisdictions.
Question 7: A person who intentionally enters onto the property
of another without permission or any legal right to do so is a(n):
A. Licensee
B. Invitee
C. Trespasser
D. Public invitee
