This is a slip and fall case. Plaintiff was injured when she slipped and fell in the defendant's fast food restaurant. Plaintiff claims the floor was wet and slippery when she fell. Defendant denies liability. The case is now on trial. Plaintiff calls as her first witness in her case-in-chief another customer who was in the restaurant at the time.

What are the best arguments to support the objections? 3. What are the best arguments to oppose the objections? 4. What are the proper rulings? 5. How else could these issues have been resolved?
