You are the engineer responsible for the design and installation of plumbing in a new public elementary school under construction. The project is running behind schedule ad above budget. The latest catch is that the supplier has not delivered the specified backflow preventers. Although a strike at the manufacturer's plant has been settled, the back order list is moving slowly. The engineer serving as coordinator of the project orders you to obtain less expensive backflow preventers that are readily available from another manufacturer. These backflow preventers are of lesser quality than those specified in the plans, have a history of occasional failure, and are likely to need earlier replacement. What should you do? O A. Order and install the available backflow preventers, but refuse to sign off on this portion of the job. O B. Order and install the available backflow preventers, informing the school board that this equipment may not last as long, but will help the project stay on schedule and closer to budget. O C. Wait for the specified backflow preventers and explain your action to the school board. O D. Order and install the available backflow preventers, and say nothing to the school board.

A forty-foot wooden hull fishing vessel sprang an unexpected leak a few days after leaving port. As more water entered the vessel, the engine was flooded, and the vessel eventually sank. Inspection of the vessel during the leak showed that the water was coming from underneath a refrigerated space in the front part of the vessel. In view of its construction style, the bilge underneath the vessel was inaccessible. The underwriter refused to indemnify the insured for the loss of the vessel by claiming that the latter had not exercised diligence to make the vessel seaworthy prior to the developing of the leak. The owner/master of the ship had no knowledge of the leak before the ship started its voyage. Do you think the loss is covered under the policy?
