Dalton's neighbour, Rosemary, was a retired lawyer who handled all her own investments in the stock market. Rosemary was very successful with her investment decisions and would sometimes tell Dalton the various shares that she was considering purchasing if they happened to meet outside their homes. Dalton often followed up on his conversations with Rosemary, and would tell her how happy he was with the results in the shares they had talked about. One day Rosemary seemed more than usually enthusiastic about a particular share offering and Dalton decided to invest a large amount of his retirement money in it. Needless to say, after a small rise in price the value of the shares went south and Dalton lost $35,000.

C) Dalton would not be successful as the advice was not given in a business context.
D) Dalton would be successful because it was reasonable for him to rely on Rosemary's advice in the circumstances
E) Dalton would be successful because Rosemary knew he sometimes relied on her information.
