Man vs. Self. He knows it's wrong yet still wants more power. Internal battle.
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!
Fakir= A holy man from India who can do miraculous things.
From my definition I know that a holy person put a spell on the monkey’s paw to teach humanity a lesson. In the text Mr. White says that he wants to go to India "to see those old temples and fakirs and jugglers." From this I can infer that the Fakirs are people from India. Sergeant Major says that “a very holy man” put a spell on the monkey’s paw. This means that fakirs are holy people from India. To check my definition and understanding I can check a dictionary or obviously google it up!!!
