Answer:

Liza is thanking Pickering while subtly insulting Higgins by equating him with her father.

Explanation:

George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion" tells the story of how Eliza Doolittle came to be a different girl through the experiment of Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering. She realized the importance of how one is presented in society as the only means of being taken seriously by others.

The given passage is spoken by Liza after she had escaped to Mrs. Higgins' home away from the two men. There, she narrates how grateful she is to the men for helping her and making her a different person from who she used to be. The specific lines from Act V scene 2 of the play shows her thanking Colonel Pickering while subtly insulting the other man, equating him to Mr. Doolittle, her father. She states how she <em>"was brought up.... unable to control (herself), and using bad language on the slightest provocation"</em>. But through him (Pickering), she learned how<em> "ladies and gentlemen"</em> behave, giving her valuable life lesson changing her from the flower girl to a girl of 'class'.

2. Which is not one of the differences between literary work and dramatic works?
Oduvanchick [21]
2. I would say the correct answer is <span>A. Dialogue is used. Dialogue is a form that is used in both literary (poetry and prose) and dramatic works. Of course, dramas are based on it, but it is quite a common feature of literary works too. As for the B and C options, they are exclusive to dramatic works.

3. The correct answer, in my opinion, is C. </span><span>fourth-person limited. Something like that doesn't exist. The first-person point of view is when the speaker refers to themselves as "I", narrating the story from their own perspective. The third-person point of view is when the speaker is invisible, telling us the story from a seemingly neutral perspective.

4. In my opinion, the correct answer is </span><span>C. because Rosaline is supposed to be there. At the tragedy's beginning, Romeo is madly in love with Rosaline - or he thinks so, at least. He has not yet seen Juliet, so he pursues this naive and relatively innocent, romantic love.</span>
