pygmalion
george bernard shaw
mrs. pearce
returning this is the young woman, sir.
the flower girl enters in state. she has a hat with three ostrich feathers, orange, sky - blue, and red. she has a nearly clean apron, and the shoddy coat has been tidied a little. the pathos of this deplorable figure, with its innocent vanity and consequential air, touches pickering, who has already straightened himself in the presence of mrs. pearce. but as to higgins, the only distinction he makes between men and women is that when he is neither bullying nor exclaiming to the heavens against some featherweight cross, he coaxes women as a child coaxes its nurse when it wants to get anything out of her.
higgins
brusquely, recognizing her with unconcealed disappointment, and at once, babylike, making an intolerable grievance of it why, this is the girl i jotted down last night. shes no use: ive got all the records i want of the lisson grove lingo: and im not going to waste another cylinder on it.
to the girl be off with you: i dont want you.
why does liza tell mr. higgins not to be so saucy?
a she thinks he has been rude and impertinent.
b she feels that he is trying to flirt with her.
c she interprets his comments as being sarcastic.
d she finds his way of speaking to be incomprehensible.

Explanation:

In the play "Pygmalion", Liza tells Mr. Higgins not to be so saucy because she perceives his manner as rude and impertinent. Option A aligns with this interpretation as her reaction is to his disrespectful or over - familiar tone. Option B is incorrect as there's no indication of flirting. Option C is wrong as the issue is rudeness, not sarcasm interpretation. Option D is also incorrect as she understands his speech enough to react to its tone.

Answer:

A. She thinks he has been rude and impertinent.
