George goes to his neighbourhood hardware store and asks for a four-foot by eight-foot piece of plywood. He also requests that it be “thick and strong.” George purchases the plywood and proceeds to use it as a makeshift bridge on his driveway over a small ditch. The first time he attempts to drive his tractor over the makeshift bridge, the plywood collapses, causing damage to the tractor. George’s suit against the hardware store will
a. succeed for breach of implied term of fitness because George specifically asked for the plywood to be “thick and strong.”
b. succeed because George has likely incurred consequential losses as well.
c. fail because George did not expressly state the particular purpose for which he intended to use the plywood and therefore the hardware store did not breach any implied term of fitness.
d. fail because there was no breach of the implied term as to description.
e. succeed because the hardware store breached the implied term of merchantable quality by selling the plywood to George in these circumstances.
