Answer:
To commemorate something means to remember something and by doing so to honor it, as in “We would like to commemorate his many years of past service by presenting him with this lovely gold watch.”
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!
The first step is to read and identify important words/phrases in the story. Identify first the small and important details then you can see which ones are more important for the summary.
Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It was a fine dry night; frost in the air; the streets as clean as a ballroom floor; the lamps, unshaken by any wind, drawing a regular pattern of light and shadow. By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. Which detail from the excerpt best establishes the gothic setting?By ten o’clock, when the shops were closed the by-street was very solitary and, in spite of the low growl of London from all round, very silent. I would say this latter sentence due to the solitary street and the low growl of London and very silent sets a scene of loneliness, silence and the lateness of the night, suggesting a gothic setting.
