Read this passage from the Ramayana by R. K. Narayan. What cultural context is being explored in this passage? The King looked woebegone and desperate, and the sage relented enough to utter a word of comfort. “You cannot count on the physical proximity of someone you love, all the time. A seed that sprouts at the foot of its parent tree remains stunted until it is transplanted. Rama will be in my care, and he will be quite well. But ultimately, he will leave me too. Every human being, when the time comes, has to depart and seek his fulfillment in his own way.”

Answer:

The correct answer is Lifestyle.

Step-by-step explanation:

This passage shows us how a certain cultural theme is explored: lifestyle.

It shows us how each living being has a way of living, which is growing and moving away from its creators and the place where it was born. It is natural and what every human being needs to grow, as mentioned in the text.

In this way we can say that the correct answer is lifestyle.
