How does Higgins's underlined statement on
page 5 help to develop Higgins's character?
George Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion is a twentieth
century adaptation of a very old tale In Greek mythology,
Pygmalion was a sculptor who fell in love with his own
creation, a woman made of ivory. The goddess Venus
granted his wish that his creation come to life
It shows he is embarrassed because he admits
Pickering can be annoying,
in Show's version of the story, Professor Henry Higgins
assumes the role of Pygmalion, only his 'creation' is a
young woman whom he and his friend bet they can
transform into a proper lady, alded only by instruction in
language and manners. The play satirized many social
problems of the day, including inequalities between
socioeconomic classes and men and women
It shows he is sensitive to others because he
apologizes for Pickering,
in the following scene from Act Ill of the play, Higgins's
mother reminds the two men that Eliza is a human being
with feelings, which they seem not to have considered
It shows he is arrogant because he talks just as
much as Pickering,
It shows he is competitive because he was arguing
with Pickering,

The “big dig” the “big dig” (the central artery/tunnel project) has been complex and challenging. located in boston, massachusetts, this tunnel is eight lanes wide and three-and-a-half miles long. what is most amazing about this tunnel is that it is constructed under a major highway and skyscrapers located in boston’s financial district. construction crews used “clamshell excavators” during this dig. these machines carved narrow trenches, and then a special substance was pumped into the trench to keep the dirt from caving in. finally, steel beams were lowered into the trench and concrete was pumped in. one problem that engineers faced while constructing the tunnel is the fact that the soil beneath boston is extremely loose and soggy. engineers solved this dilemma by freezing the soil and pumping very cold water into pipes beneath the city. to strengthen the soil even further, a special type of glue was injected into the ground to with the consolidation of the soil. 23 which phrase best defines the word excavator as used in the passage? a. a device used to measure underground temperatures b. a device used to level uneven surfaces c. a device used to move heavy objects d. a device used to dig holes
