Answer:

The doctrine of respondent superior

Explanation:

The doctrine of respondent superior is a legal doctrine that is adopted when there is an unjustified behaviour which leads to damages, injury or any other legal liability.

This principle holds an employer legally responsible for any wrong action by their employee especially if such actions were done while trying to carry out their work. For example if an employee gets someone injured in the course of their job operation, the employer will be held accountable for such although it was caused or done by their employee. This doctrine is also known as Master-Servant Rule.

Answer: THE DOCTRINE OF RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR.

The doctrine of respondeat superior is a legal doctrine used that makes an employer, manager, supervisor, or other individual superior to an employee responsible or may be legally liable for the acts of that employee.

This is basically saying that any wrong doing caused by an employee working under the jurisdiction of the employer makes the employer legally liable and responsible for the employee's wrong doings.

For example, if a delivery agent driving company vehicle, causes an accident, the person involved in the accident can choose to bring into lawsuit the company instead of the delivery agent

barxatty [35]

The myth that this statement dispels is that:

 “Communication is inherently good.”

 We have been communicating since we were born in this world. However not all people are good communicators which makes this myth dispellable. Just like money, communication can be used to deceive or intimidate people.

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

A. relatively more inelastic because water is a necessity

Explanation:

Inelastic goods refers to the type of goods which demand wouldn't move that much regardless of the price change.

This tends to be the case for every products that are considered as necessity.

If let's say the price of water is $1 per bottle.  We all know that every human being need to drink at least 1.5 L of it to stay alive. If all producers of water decided to raise the price into $2 ,the customers would most likely still purchase it.  They have no choice.
