Question: David, a ten-year-old, purchased a plastic snow sled from Q-Mart. He went sledding, lost control, hit a tree, and was injured. David’s parents filed a negligence lawsuit in a state court against Q-Mart, alleging that the store should not have sold the type of sled because it was difficult to steer and had no brakes, making it unreasonably dangerous. Q-Mart contended that sledding is an inherently dangerous activity and that David assumed the risks involved when he went sledding. The court probably found that Q-Mart was:
Answer Options:
not liable because David assumed the risks of sledding.
not liable because David’s injuries were unforeseeable.
liable because David did not know the risks of sledding.
liable because sledding is unreasonably dangerous.

Question: Roger McDonald decides to open up a series of liquor stores in his home state. He calls his chain McDonald’s and uses a large, blue, curvy M as his logo. McDonald’s Corporation, the famous fast-food restaurant chain, wants him to stop using the curvy M, as it resembles McDonald’s Corporation’s famous golden arches.

Answer Options:
McDonald’s cannot stop him from using the blue M because it is not identical to the golden arches.
McDonald’s can stop him from using the blue M if it merely perceives the names create an association between them.
