Which sentence in this excerpt from George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion reveals that Henry Higgins is proud to be an English speaker

?
THE NOTE TAKER: A woman who utters such depressing and disgusting sounds has no right to be anywhere—no right to live. Remember that you are a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech: that your native language is the language of Shakespear [sic] and Milton and The Bible; and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon.

THE FLOWER GIRL: (quite overwhelmed, and looking up at him in mingled wonder and deprecation without daring to raise her head): Ah—ah—ah—ow—ow—oo!

THE NOTE TAKER (whipping out his book): Heavens! what a sound! (He writes; then holds out the book and reads, reproducing her vowels exactly) Ah—ah—ah—ow—ow—oo!

THE FLOWER GIRL (tickled by the performance, and laughing inspite of herself): Garn!

THE NOTE TAKER: You see this creature with her kerbstone English: the English that will keep her in the gutter to the end of her days. Well, sir, in three months I could pass that girl off as a duchess at an ambassador's garden party. I could even get her a place as lady's maid or shop assistant, which requires better English. That's the sort of thing I do for commercial millionaires. And on the profits of it I do genuine scientific work in phonetics, and a little as a poet on Miltonic lines.

Using your knowledge of roots, choose the best word to complete the following sentence:
Aneli [31]

<span>1.    </span><span>Mark had a gift for empathy; he seemed to be able to relate to anyone’s pain and sorrow. </span>

<span>2.    </span><span>Over the summer, many people plan to travel to exotic places, and play at the beach. </span>

<span>3.    </span>The short excerpt uses “I” repeatedly. I would suggest that she erases the repeated “I” and replace them with something else.

<span>4.    </span>I am guessing that the underlined is “good at listening and feeling my pain”? I would suggest to replace that with the word “sentimental.”

<span>5.    </span>A synonym for “faithfulness” is fidelity.

<span>6.    </span><span>I never thought I would have to write and deliver the eulogy of anyone, let alone my best friend.<span> </span></span>

How can I write a good theme about ," The Fall of the House of Usher" revolving around fear?
Paha777 [63]

Much of the fear addressed in "The Fall of the House of Usher" is related to decay and death. As the narrator arrives, he contrasts the long-standing, enduring trees with the decayed aspect of the house. Usher appears extremely pale, and the impending death of Madeline dominates the atmosphere in the house and has caused Roderick to lose his mind. The cataleptic condition of Madeline also brings with it repeated death-like experiences, and the fear of a premature burial, another of Poe's topics.

You can follow this trend of thought and illustrate it with those elements and passages in the story that relate to this decay, with its accompanying gloom, and with all those that refer to death and to untimely entombment.
