Answer:

Rather the answer is, B ( it implies he has no choice in the career he will have)

Explanation:

The reason this is the correct answer is because throughout the passage it constantly reinforces that Benjamin, as a child did not have much of a say it what he did. He simply did what his father wanted.

For instance "My early readiness in learning to read (which must have been very early, as I do not remember when I could not read), and the opinion of all his friends, that I should certainly make a good scholar, encouraged him in this purpose of his".

This shows his eagerness to please his father.

Hope this helps! ^u^

The correct answer for this question is A) It explains that at least one son must join the church (according to his dad)

The wording of this paragraph leads us to believe that the expression ''as the tithe of his sons'' demonstrates <u><em>how his father intended for at least one of his sons to serve the church</em></u>. This phrase denotes that none of his brothers chose to serve the church and had instead chosen different paths which led his dad to offer him as a last resource.

It could also imply the importance of church for his dad however thats entirely subjective.

This paragraph does not mention his brother's intelligence and definitely does not imply that he does not have a choice hence the wording ''my father intending to devote me (...)'' meaning his dad tried to offer him but he later decided otherwise.

Hope this helps!

I’m the short story “Everyday Use,” by Alice Walker why does the narrator think Maggie will appreciate the quilts more than Dee
White raven [17]

Maggie is a more traditional person than Dee. While Dee is away at school Maggie is the one at home. The guilt represents the African American experience because it is a piece of uniform that their Grandfather used to wear during the Civil War. Dee wants to take the quilt for public display, but the narrator prefers to give it to Maggie, who will wear it as a symbol of taking on the traditions that come with it and to take on the heritage.
