Answer -
Richard’s mother always helped him by encouraging his interest to learn new things. She took him on occasional trips and bought scientific equipment for him such as telescopes, microscopes, cameras, mounting materials and other related equipment and tried helping him in every possible way. If he didn’t have anything to do, she found new learning things for him. She helped him through different ways, both directly and indirectly. She even gifted him the book ‘The Travels of Monarch X’ which proved a major turning point in Richard’s life and motivated him to become a great scientist.
