Pygmаliоn LIZA: Will yоu drоp me аltogether now thаt the experiment is over, Colonel Pickering? I owe so much to you that I should be very 5 unhappy if you forgot me. PICKERING: It’s very kind of you to say so, Miss Doolittle. LIZA: 10 It’s not because you paid for my dresses. I know you are generous to everybody with money. But it was from you that I learned really nice manners; and that is what makes one a lady, isn’t it? You see 15 it was so very difficult for me with the example of Professor Higgins always before me. I was brought up to be just like him, unable to control myself, and using bad language on the slightest 20 provocation. And I should never have known that ladies and gentlemen didn’t behave like that if you hadn’t been there. HIGGINS: Well!! 25 PICKERING: Oh, that’s only his way, you know. He doesn’t mean it. LIZA: Oh, I didn’t mean it either, when I was a 30 flower girl. It was only my way. But you see I did it; and that’s what makes the difference after all. Do you know what began my real education? PICKERING: 35 What? LIZA (stopping her work for a moment): Your calling me Miss Doolittle that day when I first came to Wimpole Street. That was the beginning of self-respect for me. 40 (She resumes her stitching.) And there were a hundred little things you never noticed, because they came naturally to you. Things about standing up and taking off your hat and opening doors— 45 PICKERING: Oh, that was nothing. LIZA: Yes: things that showed you thought and felt about me as if I were something 50 better than a scullery maid; though of course I know you would have been just the same to a scullery maid if she had been let into the drawing room. You never took off your boots in the dining 55 room when I was there. PICKERING: You mustn’t mind that. Higgins takes off his boots all over the place. LIZA: 60 I know. I am not blaming him. It is his way, isn’t it? But it made such a difference to me that you didn’t do it. You see, really and truly, apart from the things anyone can pick up (the dressing 65 and the proper way of speaking, and so on), the difference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how she’s treated. I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins, because 70 he always treats me as a flower girl, and always will; but I know I can be a lady to you, because you always treat me as a lady, and always will. PICKERING: 75 Well, this is really very nice of you, Miss Doolittle. LIZA: I should like you to call me Eliza, now, if you would. 80 PICKERING: Thank you. Eliza, of course. LIZA: And I should like Professor Higgins to call me Miss Doolittle. Adapted from Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. The underlined portion of lines 12-14 contains which literary device?

EXERPT FROM 'THE OVERCOAT' by Nikоlаi Gоgоl When аnd how he entered the depаrtment, and who appointed him, no one could remember. However much the directors and chiefs of all kinds were changed, he was always to be seen in the same place, the same attitude, the same occupation; so that it was afterwards affirmed that he had been born in undress uniform with a bald head. No respect was shown him in the department. The porter not only did not rise from his seat when he passed, but never even glanced at him, any more than if a fly had flown through the reception-room. His superiors treated him in coolly despotic1 fashion. Some sub-chief would thrust a paper under his nose without so much as saying, "Copy," or "Here's a nice interesting affair," or anything else agreeable, as is customary amongst well-bred officials. And he took it, looking only at the paper and not observing who handed it to him, or whether he had the right to do so; simply took it, and set about copying it. The young officials laughed at and made fun of him, so far as their official with permitted; told in his presence various stories concocted about him, and about his landlady, an old woman of seventy; declared that she beat him; asked when the wedding was to be; and strewed bits of paper over his head, calling them snow. But Akakiy Akakievitch answered not at word, any more than if there had been no one there besides himself. It even had no effect upon his work; amid all these annoyances he never made a single mistake in a letter. But I'd the joking became wholly unbearable, as when they jogged his hand and prevented his attending to his work, he would exclaim, "Leave me alone! Why do you insult me?" And there was something strange in the words and the voice in which they were uttered. There was in it something which moved to pity; so much that one young man, a new comer, who, taking pattern by the others, had permitted himself to make sport of Akakiy, suddenly stopped short, as though all about him had undergone a transformation, and presented itself in a different aspect. Some unseen force repelled him from the comrades whose acquaintance he had made on the supposition that they were well-bred and polite men. Long afterwards, in his gayest moments, there recurred to his mind the little official with the bald forehead, with his heart-rending words, "Leave me alone! Why do you insult me?" In these moving words, other words resounded -- "I am thy brother." And the young man covered his face with his hand; and many a time afterwards, in the course of his life, shuddered at seeing how much inhumanity there is in man, how much savage coarseness is concealed beneath delicate, refined worldliness, and even in that man whom the world acknowledges as honourable and noble. It would be difficult to find another man who lived so entirely for his duties. It is not enough to say that Akakiy laboured with zeal; no, he laboured with love. In his copying, he found a varied and agreeable employment. Enjoyment was written on his face: some letters were even favourites with him; and when he encountered these, he smiled, winked, and worked with his lips, till it seemed as though each letter might be read in his face, as his pen traced it. If his pay had been in proportion to his zeal, he would, perhaps, to his great surprise, have been made even a councillor of state. But he worked, as his companions, the wits, put it, like a horse in a mill. Moreover, it is impossible to say that no attention was paid to him. One director being a kindly man, and desirous of rewarding him for his long service, ordered him to be given something more important than mere copying. So he was ordered to make a report of an already concluded affair of another department: the duty consisting simply of changing the heading and altering a few words from the first to the third person. This caused him so much toll that he broke into a perspiration, rubbed his forehead, and finally said, "No, give me rather something to copy." After that they let him copy on forever. Which quotation from paragraph 3 best illustrates the meaning of the word “zeal” as it is used in the paragraph?

"Ain't I A Wоmаn" by Sоjоurner Truth Well, children, where there is so much rаcket there must be something out of kilter. I think thаt 'twixt the negroes of the South and the women at the North, all talking about rights, the white men will be in a fix pretty soon. But what's all this here talking about? That man over there says that women need to be helped into carriages, and lifted over ditches, and to have the best place everywhere. Nobody ever helps me into carriages, or over mud-puddles, or gives me any best place. And ain't I a woman? Look at me! Look at my arm! I have ploughed and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me! And ain't I a women? I could work as much and eat as much as a man - when I could get it - and bear the lash as well! And ain't I a woman? I have borne thirteen children, and seen most sold off to slavery, and when I cried out with my mother's grief, none but Jesus heard me! And ain't I a woman? Then they talk about this thing in the head; what's this they call it? ["intellect," someone whispers.] That's it, honey. What's that got to do with women's rights or negro's rights? If my cup won't hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, wouldn't you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full? Then that little man in black there, he says women can't have as much rights as men, 'cause Christ wasn't a woman! Where did your Christ come from? Where did your Christ come from? From God and a woman! Man had nothing to do with Him. If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them. Obliged to you for hearing me, and now old Sojourner ain't got nothing more to say. What does Sojourner Truth want based on the appeals and arguments presented in the speech?
