The great liability of an engineer as compared to 1 point
men of other professions is that his works are out
in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by

thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers.... He cannot,
like the politician, screen his shortcomings by blaming
his opponents and hope that the people will forget.

Answers
Answer:
d) none of the above
Answer:
The given view is presented by B. Herbert Hoover.
Explanation:
B. Herbert Hoover is the 31st president of United States of America. He is an engineer and a businessman.
From the given quotes, he stated the responsibility and practicality of the engineers. He stated that the people of the profession such as medicine, architect, law, and politics will have a way to make their mistakes look genuine. But the engineers work in open and once he/she completes the work, it will be viewed by all and there is no possible way for an engineer to explain his mistake because once an engineer commits that mistake, it will cost many lives.
For example:
When the landing gear of the aircraft is damaged are not connected properly, it may lead to the death of all the people travelling in that aircraft. So, there is no explanation for that aeronautical engineer.
