Practice question
A person safely performs a low-risk task in an ordinary setting. On a later occasion the same task is performed beside children during a crowded event with clear additional hazards.

- A task’s name fixes care regardless of setting
- Crowds and children can never matter
- Only the defendant’s opinion matters
- The first successful occasion conclusively proves all future care
- The changed circumstances of persons, time and place may require different precautions under Article 1173
