Touching the father’s feet signifies both respect and authority for him by the devoted son. This show of respect and authority has been embedded to the son, he stopped touching his father’s feet but he carried with him the authority and respect he felt for his father even after becoming a doctor. The devoted son continuously showed his father the respect and authority and this somehow has taken a toll on their relationship especially when the father was succumb to sickness. He showed his respect and authority to his father by ensuring that he lived as long as the son can provide by giving the father the necessary medications. This displeased the father because he felt the other way around.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer: The right answer is the A) With their hard work, these individuals had invested in their country and they deserved to be suitably rewarded.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this song, which E.Y. "Yip" Harburg co-authored in 1932, became very representative of the Great Depression. “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” was a legitimate question because it was asked by hardworking and decent individuals who had contributed to the progress of the country, and all of the sudden found themselves unemployed and unable to provide for themselves and for their families.
