Answer:

He bends so that he can touch his father's feet.

Explanation:

This question is related to the short story "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai. In this story when Rakesh sees that the result of the exam he performed was wonderful, he understands that it will bring glory to his family and that this all happened thanks to the dedication and sacrifices that his parents performed. If it weren't for his parents, he wouldn't be able to achieve such good results, which is why when he finds out that he has achieved an optimal result he quickly bends over and touches the feet of his father, Varma, his father; as a sign of respect and thanks.

Answer :

According to Varma, the first thing that Rakesh did upon seeing his excellent exam results was to bow down and touch his (his father's) feet.

The following lines from the short story "A Devoted Son" by Anita Desai give the answer to the question "To everyone who came to him to say “Mubarak, Varmaji, your son has brought you glory,” the father said, “Yes, and do you know what is the first thing he did when he saw the results this morning? He came and touched my feet. He bowed down and touched my feet.” This moved many of the women in the crowd so much that they were seen to raise the ends of their saris and dab at their tears while the men reached out for the betel-leaves and sweetmeats that were offered around on trays and shook their heads in wonder and approval of such exemplary filial behavior. “One does not often see such behavior in sons any more,” they all agreed, a little enviously perhaps."

In "War of the Worlds" by Mike Brown, what is the author’s purpose, and what is his main argument to advance this purpose?
zhenek [66]

Answer:

The author Mike brown's purpose is to bring to our attention the recent dilemma about the decision to declare or remove the planet Pluto as a valid planet. He believes that Pluto remains a planet and others are also declared as planets so that children and future generations will have the idea of explorations as an ongoing process.

His main argument was that if Pluto and 2003 UB313 are declared as full-fledged planets, then that will encourage children to believe in the possibility of future explorations and that they can also be a part of such adventures.  

Explanation:

Mike Brown's article "War of the Worlds" is an argumentative text on why space unions must accept the fact that Pluto and the newly discovered 2003 UB313. This is because if such discoveries are deemed invalid and not accepted, then there is no use for further explorations. Moreover, scientific studies have also already taken a backseat, which is detrimental to future generations who have an interest in the field.

But if such explorations are accepted, then the interest will remain and also give new birth to space studies. Moreover, it will also ensure that future exploration activities are done.

And in advancing his argument, Brown recounts his childhood fascination with space and how such a negative approach to accepting new exploration activities might hinder a child from having any interest in the scientific field. But <em>"[d]oing so might convince schoolchildren to put new paper disks on their walls, to look up to the sky and realize that exploration does continue and that they can be part of it, too."</em>
