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!

D To persuade the audience to use non violent means for protesting.
Affect is when something has changed. For example you could say that spring affects your allergies. Effect is the result of something. Another example would be when you didn't pay attention in class, the effect would show in your work or test grades. You use affect as a verb and Effect as a noun
