    The document provides two multiple choice practice questions related to tort law. The first question asks about a hunter who accidentally shot and injured a hiker while hunting deer. The correct answer is that the hiker does have an actionable battery claim against the hunter because the bullet from the hunter's rifle made direct physical contact with the hiker, even though the contact was unintentional. The second question asks about a child who angrily threw himself against a neighbor, knocking her to the ground and causing a broken wrist. The correct answer is that the strongest argument for the neighbor's battery claim against the child is that the child was old enough to appreciate the riskiness of his conduct that led to the neighbor's injury.

    Going forward, we'll review two MBE multiple choice questions each class. Do not
    submit your responses, just come prepared to share your selections and reasoning at
    the start of class:

    1. During a deer-hunting season open to rifle hunters, a hunter saw a deer in the
    forest. He shot his rifle at the deer, hoping to hit and kill it. Instead, he hit and injured a
    hiker. The hunter had not realized that the hiker was there.

    Does the injured hiker have an actionable battery claim against the hunter?

    1. No, because the hunter did not intend to shoot the hiker.
    2. No, because the hunter did not make direct physical contact with the hiker.
    3. Yes, because the bullet from the hunter’s rifle made direct physical contact with
    the hiker.
    4. Yes, because the hunter intentionally shot the rifle.

    2. A mother and her six-year-old child were on a walk when the mother stopped to talk
    with an elderly neighbor. Because the child resented having his mother's attention
    diverted by the neighbor, the child angrily threw himself against the neighbor and
    knocked her to the ground. The neighbor suffered a broken wrist as a result of the fall.

    In an action for battery by the neighbor against the child, what is the strongest
    argument for liability?

    1. The child intended to throw himself against the neighbor.


    2. The child was old enough to appreciate that causing a fall could inflict serious
    injury.
    3. The child was old enough to appreciate the riskiness of his conduct.
    4. The child was not justified in his anger.
