This is the "bob and wheel" pattern.
Is there a reference i should be needing to solve this difficult question of yours?
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!
Answer:
More of the world's population is now concentrated in heavily populated urban areas known as <u>megalopolis</u>. This is quite a contrast from the past, when <u>indigenous</u> or native groups were either farmers or <u>nomads</u>— hunters and gatherers who moved between places in search of food. Advanced technology has led to <u>globalization</u>, the integration of world economics and cultures, in the world's more developed countries. This integration requires increased <u>conservation</u>, the responsible use and management of natural resources.
