Select the correct text in the passage. In the following excerpt from George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, which sentence best shows the Note Taker’s contempt for the way the Flower Girl uses language?

THE FLOWER GIRL: Let him mind his own business and leave a poor girl—
THE NOTE TAKER (explosively): Woman: cease this detestable boohooing instantly; or else seek the shelter of some other place of worship.
THE FLOWER GIRL (with feeble defiance): I've a right to be here if I like, same as you.
THE NOTE TAKER: A woman who utters such depressing and disgusting sounds has no right to be anywhere—no right to live. Remember that you are a human being with a soul and the divine gift of articulate speech: that your native language is the language of Shakespear [sic] and Milton and The Bible; and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon.
THE FLOWER GIRL (quite overwhelmed, and looking up at him in mingled wonder and deprecation without daring to raise her head): Ah—ah—ah—ow—ow—oo!
THE NOTE TAKER (whipping out his book): Heavens! what a sound! (He writes; then holds out the book and reads, reproducing her vowels exactly) Ah—ah—ah—ow—ow—ow—oo!

The only sentences that can be selected are the ones that start with:
"Woman: cease this detestable boohooing..."
"A woman who utters such depressing and disgusting sounds has no right..."
"Remember that you are human being with a soul and the divine gift..."
"Heavens! what a sound!"
