Astor manufacturing stores hazardous and volatile chemicals in its warehouse. the warehouse has state of the art equipment to make sure the chemicals do not explode. an unexpected earthquake shakes the warehouse, causing the chemicals to explode and injure will-a passerby on a nearby sidewalk. astor manufacturing isa. liable to will only if the company was grossly negligent. b. not liable to will because it satisfied its duty to passerbys. c. strictly liable for will's injuries. d. not liable to will because jason voluntarily assumed the risk of injury.

A. liable to Will only if the company was grossly negligent

Explanation:

Astor Manufacturing cannot be strictly responsible for Will's injuries since the cause of the accident was the earthquake (C), not because of a company error.

Although the company fulfilled its duty to have the equipment to ensure that the chemicals didn´t explode, it could become responsible so they actually exploded (B)

In the fragment "Jason" is never mentioned as someone who has voluntarily assumed the risk of injury, option (D) makes no sense like an answer.

Therefore, Astor Manufacturing would be liable to Will only if the company had been seriously negligent. This was not the case, but it should also be investigated why the latest generation equipment did not prevent chemicals from exploding.

i heard they are taking it off i hope this isn't true but otherwise if it doesn't get taken off it will probably be in early december or early january of 2018-2019

an informal structure in a bureaucracy would be something like so-called "office politics". where there's a formal structure set up for the organization, but then an informal subculture as well that has a way of organizing the bureaucracy further. this can be positive because it sets up an added degree of organization, albeit informal, within the bureaucracy.
