Simile or metaphor???

6) Is simile because it contains the word "like"

7) Is also simile because it contains word "as". Yoou can distinguish if it's simile when they say "like" or "as" when making a comparison

8) Metaphor. It's also doing comparison, but they don't include like or as

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: )!
