Question 1
One of the attractions at Wonderland Zoo is a train ride that takes customers to and from
different locations at the zoo. Sipho, the technician in charge of inspecting and maintaining
the train, overlooks some signs that the train is no longer in sound condition. Avril goes for a
ride on the train. The operator of the train requests the persons boarding the train to fasten
their safety belts. However, Avril decides not to fasten her safety belt, because she wants to
take good selfie pictures during the ride. During the ride, the train breaks down and comes to
an abrupt standstill resulting in only Avril being thrown out of the train. Avril sustains a
broken arm and is hospitalised. After four days, Avril is discharged, but on her way out of the
hospital, she slips on some oily substance on the floor and falls. Due to the fall, Avril
sustains a broken leg. Select the best option in respect of Avril’s broken arm:
a.
