Kassem was a real estate agent with his own firm. Because his agency was new in a competitive field, he hired the company of Barrett and Barrett Ltd. to advise on an advertising strategy and to design ads for the newspaper and for brochures. Jack Barrett, senior employee, was handling the market research, and the employee Armstrong was doing the illustrations. When the work was complete, the ads went to press; unfortunately, after the printing, it was discovered that in all the ads and in every brochure "Kassem" was spelled "Kassim." Armstrong had made the mistake in his copy. On these facts, which of the following is true?
A) For breach of contract, Kassem could successfully sue only the company, Barrett and Barrett Ltd.
B) Kassem's only recourse is against Armstrong, the employee who made the mistake.
C) Kassem can sue both the company and its employee Armstrong for breach of contract, since they were both connected with the job.
D) Kassem can choose to sue either the company or its employee Armstrong for breach of contract, but not both.
E) If the company did not pay Armstrong, Armstrong could sue Kassem for his pay because Armstrong did do work for Kassem.
