Question

Select the correct answer.

What does this excerpt from Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw reveal about Alfred Doolittle’s relationship with his daughter?

DOOLITTLE (to Pickering): I thank you, Governor. (To Higgins, who takes refuge on the piano bench, a little overwhelmed by the proximity of his visitor; for Doolittle has a professional flavor of dust about him). Well, the truth is, I've taken a sort of fancy to you, Governor; and if you want the girl, I'm not so set on having her back home again but what I might be open to an arrangement. Regarded in the light of a young woman, she's a fine handsome girl. As a daughter she's not worth her keep; and so I tell you straight. All I ask is my rights as a father; and you're the last man alive to expect me to let her go for nothing; for I can see you're one of the straight sort, Governor. Well, what's a five pound note to you? And what's Eliza to me? (He returns to his chair and sits down judicially).
A. He shares a loving relationship with his daughter.
B. He doesn’t care about his daughter.
C. He can’t part with his daughter at all.

Answer 2

Answer: B)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is showing that he doesn't care about his daughter because he is trying to sell her to the men.

He wanted to sell her for any price and because of that they were offering him ten pounds and he refused it. He refused it because he was thinking that he should get five pounds because when the weekend comes he would drink for those five pounds and ten pounds would involve him in the responsibility to drink too much.
