Answer 1

This is an example of suing for damages and breach of contract.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an example of suing for damages and breach of contract. Betty hired a contractor to replace her gutters, but the gutters leaked and flooded her basement. When Betty complained, the contractor replaced the gutters, but the problem persisted. Frustrated, Betty decided to file a lawsuit against the contractor in an attempt to recover the money she lost, which is suing for damages, and to hold the contractor accountable for not fulfilling their contractual obligations, which is suing for breach of contract.
