Explanation:

Analyze Question 20

In Anita Desai's short story A Devoted Son, Rakesh is a highly successful doctor who begins to strictly regulate his aging father Varma's diet. The catalyst for Rakesh banning fried foods and rich dishes from his father's diet occurs when Varma becomes seriously ill after eating a rich dessert (halwa) at a family celebration. This aligns with the concept of Literary Comprehension to trace plot motivations.

Analyze Question 21

In D.H. Lawrence's short story The Rocking-Horse Winner, Paul's frantic riding on his rocking horse is a central symbol. By riding the horse, he is able to "know" the names of the winning racehorses, which brings in money to satisfy his mother's endless desire for wealth. Thus, the rocking horse and his riding symbolize the behavior of people in their frantic, ultimately destructive pursuit of money. This utilizes the concept of Literary Symbolism.
