Answer:

- Ben has not committed an assault or a battery because he acted in self defense.

Explanation:

As per the question, the statement that illustrates a true claim regarding the given situation is that Ben has neither committed an assault or battery as whatever he did(shoving Mike) was just an action in self-defense to protect himself from Mike's blow. It was Mike who attempts to strike Ben at first while the latter was just attempting to safeguard himself from his blow. Therefore, Ben's actions could not be considered either an offense/assault or battery as he acted in Self-defense and not intentionally.

Q: What is the valley of ashes in the great Gatsby

<em>Whoaaa! You're reading The Great Gatsby? That's literally the best book I've read in English class! You should definitely watch the movie when you have time because 1. It helped me out on my test and 2. It was so good!</em>

<em />

<em>Alright, enough of the jibber jabbering... let me answer your question.  </em>

<em />

<em>The Valley of Ashes is a farm where ashes grow like wheat into hills, ridges, and even gardens. It's very desolate and empty, marking the intersection of the city with the suburbs. It's between the East and West Egg and is created by the dumping of industrial waste. It symbolizes the moral and social decay, as well as the carefree pursuit of wealth, since the rich do as they please and don't care about anything else besides their own pleasure.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helped you out!</em>
