Answer:

The grocery store is the defendant.

Explanation:

The grocery store, like every other store which is opened to the public, has an obligation to ensure that people are safe whenever they visit for shopping. If, due to unsafe conditions in the grocery store, Adrianna (the plaintiff) slips, falls and gets injured, and lays an injury claim against the grocery store in a court of law, the grocery store is the defendant because it is being sued by Adrianna, or Adrianna is seeking civil relief from the grocery store which is liable for her injuries.

Answer: The Grocery store is the defendant

Explanation: A defendant is someone, company or an organisation being sued or accused of comiting a crime and is charged to court to defend his or herself, in the case of an organization or company being charged to court needs to defend and absorb itself of all crime.

In the case of Adrianna, the grocery store being the defendant needs to defend itself in court against Adrianna's claims and prove that it's not guilty of her claims. If found guilty the grocery store will pay for damages, her hospital bills and injuries the fall might have caused.
