用英文接着问：what would be the verdict if this happens in the US s

Great question! If this situation were brought to a U.S. small claims court, the judge would likely look at:

Key Legal Considerations

1. Was there a clear agreement or obligation?

   • A agreed to let B bring the ring to school — likely informally.

   • B voluntarily accepted responsibility, making her a sort of “bailee” (someone temporarily holding property for someone else).

2. Was B negligent?

   • If B lost the ring because it was loosely worn and fell off, the court would ask:

     • Was that a reasonable way to carry it?

     • Did B take basic precautions to protect someone else’s property?

3. Value of the ring

   • The court might ask for proof of the ring’s value to assess damages.

? Likely Verdict

In many small claims courts, the judge might rule that:

• B accepted responsibility when she offered to bring the ring.

• B failed to exercise reasonable care by wearing it on a finger where it could easily fall off.

• Therefore, B is liable — but possibly not 100%, especially if A had a chance to retrieve the ring herself.

So the judge could:

• Award full compensation to A (especially if the ring was valuable and B was careless),
  OR

• Decide both parties share some fault, and award partial compensation (e.g., 50%).

In Legal Terms:

This is a classic case of “bailment with slight negligence” — B had a duty to protect A’s property and arguably didn’t do so adequately.
