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'.

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The Philippines campaign, Battle of the Philippines or the Liberation of the Philippines (Filipino: Kampanya sa Pilipinas, Labanan sa Pilipinas & Liberasyon ng Pilipinas), codenamed Operation Musketeer I, II, and III (Operasyon Mosketero I, II, at III), was the American and Filipino campaign to defeat and expel the Imperial Japanese forces occupying the Philippines during World War II. The Japanese Army overran all of the Philippines during the first half of 1942. The liberation of the Philippines commenced with amphibious landings on the eastern Philippine island of Leyte on October 20, 1944. United States and Philippine Commonwealth military forces were progressing in liberating territory and islands when the Japanese forces in the Philippines were ordered to surrender by Tokyo on August 15, 1945, after the dropping of the atomic bombs on mainland Japan and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria.

Peru is known for _____. the Incas its love of baseball llamas Machu Picchu
yanalaym [24]
The safest answer is Macchu Picchu - it's very famous and it's located in Peru, so no other country is known for it.

But Macchu Picchu is built by the Incas - so it's a correct answer too!

The llama is also a characteristic animal for Peru- ut not exclusively of Peru. It's also present in Bolivia, Chile and Argentina

The only option that is not correct is "its love for baseball" - baseball is not speficically popular in Peru, and soccer is their prefer ed sport.
