Read the excerpt from Pygmalion and Galatea by
Josephine Preston Peabody.

Now there once lived in Cyprus a young sculptor,
Pygmalion by name, who thought nothing on earth so
beautiful as the white marble folk that live without faults
and never grow old. Indeed, he said that he would
never marry a mortal woman, and people began to
think that his daily life among marble creatures was
hardening his heart altogether.

Read the excerpt from Pygmalion by George Bernard
Shaw.

HIGGINS [tempted, looking at her] It's almost
irresistible. She's so deliciously low-so horribly dirty-

LIZA [protesting extremely] Ah-ah-ah-ah-ow-ow
-oooo!!! I ain't dirty: I washed my face and hands
afore I come, I did.

Based on these excerpts, which statement
best explains the difference between Pygmalion and
Higgins?

O Higgins cannot communicate his true opinions as well as Pygmalion can.

O Higgins lacks the admiration for Eliza that Pygmalion has for his statues.

O Higgins is cultivating a reputation in his country that
is much worse than the reputation Pygmalion has.

O Higgins is more confident in his ability to mold Eliza
than Pygmalion is in his ability to mold his statues.
