Believing that the consumer had sued the wrong defendant, the manufacturer claimed boththat the designer was solely responsible for the flaw that had led to the consumer's injuries and that the manufacturer was not at fault. 7.After being fired, a woman sued her former employer in federal court, alleging that her supervisor had discriminated against her on the basis of her sex. The woman's complaint included a lengthy description of what the supervisor had said and done over the years, quoting his telephone calls and emails to her and her own emails to the supervisor's manager asking for help.

Which of the following arguments is most likely to achieve the designer's goal of dismissal of the third-party complaint?

  3. The manufacturer's failure to follow the designer's speci-fications caused the flaw that resulted in the consumer's injuries.
