    For the first question, the answer is B. Ben must show that UST did not use due care to make the drill safe. This means that UST had a duty to make sure their product was safe for consumers to use, and they did not live up to that duty. For the second question, the answer is B. Sam committed battery by hitting Tom with a baseball bat. Assault requires the victim to feel threatened or in danger, while battery involves actual physical harm or contact.
