Answer:
The 'Prohibition Ordinance' is designed to address the problem of properly enforcing ordinances and restoring morality in villages during the late Ming dynasty.
Explanation:
The Ming Dynasty heralded it's flag at the end of the Yuan Dynasty in 1368. The Ming Dynasty was one of the longest dynasty to last in China. This longevity was maintained by enforcing laws and regulations over people.
One of them was 'Prohibition Ordinance'. Prohibition Ordinance was part of Village Ordinances. According to Prohibition Ordinances, the problem in villages were resolved. <u>These problems included denigration of ordinances by greedy and influential people, restoration of morality among the people, etc</u>. So, the Prohibition Ordinances aimed to address these issues.
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!
