Answer 1

Bouncy Bouncy Things may be liable for negligence for not conducting a background check on Jeremy, which could have prevented the incident where he slapped a child.

Step-by-step explanation:

The scenario provided suggests that Bouncy Bouncy Things may be liable for negligence due to their failure to conduct a background check on Jeremy, which would have revealed his history of slapping children. By not investigating Jeremy's past behavior before contracting him to supervise children's parties, Bouncy Bouncy Things may have breached their duty of care towards the children. Additionally, drawing a parallel from the counter example situation presented, just as Susan was responsible for the harm that came to the children due to her negligence, Bouncy Bouncy Things may similarly be held accountable for Jeremy's actions under their supervision.
