A group of children, ranging in age from 8 to 15, regularly played football on the common area of an apartment complex. Most of the children lived in the apartment complex, but some lived elsewhere. Addison owned the complex. Addison knew that the children played on the common area and had not objected. Troy, a 13-year-old who did not live in the apartment complex, fell over a sprinkler head while running for a pass and broke his leg. Although Troy had played football on the common area before, he had never noticed the sprinkler heads, which protruded one inch above the ground and were part of a permanently installed underground sprinkler system.If a claim is asserted on Troy’s behalf, Troy will:

Christopher went into a store at approximately 6:45 p.m. to look at some suits that were on sale. The clerks were busy, and one of them told him that he should wait on himself. Christopher selected three suits from a rack and went into the dressing room to try them on. Signs posted on the walls of the store state that closing time is 9 p.m.; however, because of a special awards banquet for employees, the store was closed at 7 p.m. on this day. The employees, in a hurry to get to the banquet, did not check the dressing rooms or turn off the lights before leaving. When Christopher emerged from the dressing room a few minutes after 7 p.m., he was alone and locked in. Christopher tried the front door but it was secured on the outside by a bar and padlock, so he went to the rear door. Christopher grabbed the doorknob and vigorously shook the door. It did not open, but the activity set off a mechanism that had been installed because of several recent thefts committed by persons who had hidden in the store until after closing time. The mechanism sprayed a chemical mist in Christopher’s face, causing him to become temporarily blind. The mechanism also activated an alarm carried by the store’s security guard, Stan, who was just coming to work. Stan unlocked the front door, ran into the store, and grabbed Christopher. Christopher, who was still unable to see, struck out at this person and hit a metal rack, injuring his hand. Stan then identified himself, and Christopher did the same. After assuring himself that Christopher was telling the truth, Stan allowed him to leave.If Christopher is to prevail on a claim against the store based on battery from the use of the chemical spray, Christopher must establish that:
