Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mr. Henderson is the owner of the warehouse where the car was housed, and he is holding the car as a bailee for Kenneth. As a bailee, he has a duty to take reasonable care of the car and prevent damage or loss. Since he informed Kenneth that the car was damaged, it can be assumed that he failed in his duty to take reasonable care of the car.
