Answer 1

True

Step-by-step explanation:

True, as Earnest has already planned to open an ice cream stand on May 1 for which a new part needs to be delivered to him by the shipper by April 25.

However, the shipper failed to deliver him the same due to which Earnest was not able to open an ice cream stand on May 1.

So, the shipper now has to recover consequential damages caused by the delay as it was a big mistake on the part of the shipper.
