Answer 1

Answer 2

Alrighty remember when I talked about the symbolism of the ring?

Answer 3

yeah

Answer 4

Well when Eliza asks Higgins what clothes are hers, he is genuinely hurt. (which is surprising in itself) in his shock and anger he throws the ring into the fire. The fact that Eliza kneels down to retrieve it rather than let it burn shows she cares about the ring. And what did I say the ring symbolizes?

Answer 5

the ring she left behind?

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

i dont remember :/

Answer 8

her honesty?

Answer 9

her feelings for Higgins. Answer A is ruled out because we already know Eliza's opinion of marriage from her nasty retort about selling herself. Answer B is ruled out because she left the most valuable thing (the ring) behind. Answer C you have to infer to verify. When Eliza asks him which clothes are hers and genuinely hurts Higgins feelings, we have to decide, would Higgins feelings be hurt if he didn't care for Eliza? So you tell me, what's the answer?
