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."

sladkih [1.3K]

The involvement of Trabb's boy in Pip's rescue from Orlick is an example of <u>irony.</u>

The above question has been asked from the novel “Great Expectations” by Charles Dickens.

Trabb's boy had earlier mocked Pip in the public and had brought him great embarrassment. Therefore it becomes ironic that he should be the one who will rescue Pip. Hence, Dickens uses such strategies in his novels in which he places people of good characters with bad traits and vice-versa.
