I believe the answer is: C. Allusion

Allusion refers to a literary device that is used to make indirect reference without actually mentioning it explicitly.

The reference that made through Allusion usually could only be understood by the readers if we read the previous part of the writing in order to get the context.

the answer would be: it explains that at least one son must join the church

the expression ''as the tithe of his sons'' indicates how his father intended for at least one of his sons to serve the church. this phrase demonstrates that his father offered him as a last resort since none of his brothers chose to serve the church.

hope this answer you: )!
