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."

<h2> Pt 1.</h2>

Sharing an apartment with a family member (or two) can be both a relief and a cause of stress. In the end, your experience living with a family roommate depends largely on the character of that family member and you. If you get along with the family member, you may find living with him or her much more comfortable than living with a stranger or even a friend. When you know and trust a family member who lives with you, you can be yourself around your roommate and you probably won’t have to worry about stolen items or finding out your roommate is a different person to live with than he or she is to hang out with. If you’re living with a sibling, a cousin or even a parent, it’s easy to fall into the habit of falling behind in your payments. After all, “families stick together,” so some irresponsible apartment dwellers might believe their family roommate can cover a “month or two” of rent payment, which turns into a few months more. Too afraid to cause family drama, the responsible roommate let him or herself be taken advantage of.

<h2>Pt 2.</h2>

Strong and positive family relationships are enjoyable for their own sake – it just feels good to be part of a warm and loving family.

But positive family relationships are important for lots of other reasons too.  They:

  • help children feel secure and loved, which gives them confidence to explore their world, try new things and learn
  • make it easier for your family to solve problems, resolve conflict and respect differences of opinion
  • give children the skills they need to build healthy relationships of their own.

I will put the rest in the comments since there is a typing limit, but I hope this helps and I always appreciate Brainliest! ;)
