What does this excerpt from Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw reveal about Liza's feelings toward Doolittle?


HIGGINS: Have you any further advice to give her before you go, Doolittle? Your blessing, for instance.

DOOLITTLE: No, Governor I ain't such a mug as to put up my children to all I know myself. Hard enough to hold them in without that. If you want ELiza's mind improved, Governor, you do it yourself with a strap. So long, gentlemen. [He turns to go].

HIGGINS: [impressively] Stop. You'll come regularly to see your daughter. It's your duty, you know. My brother is a clergyman; and he could help you in your talks with her.

DOOLITTLE: [evasively] Certainly. I'll come, Governor. Not just this week, because I have a job at a distance. But later on you may depend on me. Afternoon, gentlemen. Afternoon, ma'am. [He takes off his hat to Mrs. Pearce, who disdains the salutation and goes out. He winks at Higgins, thinking him probably a fellow sufferer from Mrs. Pearce's difficult disposition, and follows her].

LIZA: Don't you believe the old liar. He'd as soon you set a bull-dog on him as a clergyman. You won't see him again in a hurry.

HIGGINS: I don't want to, Eliza Do you?

LIZA: Not me. I don't want never to see him again, I don't. He's a disgrace to me, he is, collecting dust, instead of working at his trade.

Answer:

B. She does not think he is a good person

Step-by-step explanation:

Liza says "You won't see him again in a hurry." talking about Dolittle, then higgens says, "I don't want to, Eliza Do you?" talking about him not seeing Dolittle again. In lizas response, she says "Not me. I don't want never to see him again, I don't. He's a disgrace to me, he is, collecting dust, instead of working at his trade." So clearly Liza is stating how she does NOT want to see him again and how she does NOT like him.
