Richard, an engineer, supervises the construction of a new mountainside roadway. When the road collapses in a landslide due to faulty grading, Richard is sued by motorists and hikers injured in the collapse. As a professional, Richard is held to the same standard of care as:_______.a. ​ordinary persons.
b. ​other engineers.
c. ​other professionals, including doctors, dentists, and lawyers.
d. ​those injured in the collapse of the bridge.

Respuesta :

Answer: Other Engineers.

Explanation:

In the event of a bridge collapse the engineer that supervised the project would be held responsible because he/she was unable to avoid all possible factors that could have led to the bridge collapse, as is required in the engineering profession. Therefore, when supervising a construction job the engineer in charge has to ensure that all possible factors that can lead to structure failure is eliminated.
