Which of the excerpts from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street best foreshadows that the residents of Maple Street will turn against Les Goodman? “That's Les Goodman's house. He's got lights!”
“He always was an odd ball. Him and his whole family. Real odd ball.”
“What is this, a gag or something? This a practical joke or something?”
“Why I've known Ethel Goodman ever since they moved in. We've been good friends—”

b)metaphor

explanation:

when reading the sentence carefully it says,"hope is a thing with feathers" it's like saying: hope is a thing like feathers

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: )!
