Answer:
a) The people who are on the roundabout are referred to as "them."
b) Since his parents were no longer next to him, they did not respond to him.
Explanation:
- A young boy's experience at a fair is depicted in the short story "A Lost Child" by Mulk Raj Anand. The boy and his parents go to the fair.
- He is awestruck by everything there is to see at the fair, and as a result, he gets distracted by all the sights there frequently.
- Sooner or later, the child gets so preoccupied with the roundabout and the people on it that he loses sight of his parents.
- When he first realises he is separated from his family, he starts yelling for them and crying, but to no avail.
