Answer
A
“I ride with Revolutionists / against myself.”
B
“I am the mountain Indian, / superior over all.”
C
“I have been the Bloody Revolution, / The Victor, / The Vanquished,"
D
“I am / faithful, / humble / Juan Diego / the Virgin de Guadalupe / Tonantzín, Aztec Goddess too.”
E
“I rode as far East and North / as the Rocky Mountains / and / all men feared the guns of / Joaquín Murrieta.”
Explanation
These lines show identities that pull in different directions or combine contrasting traditions. “I ride with Revolutionists / against myself” directly expresses inner conflict, while “The Victor, / The Vanquished” places opposite roles within the same identity. The line naming Juan Diego, the Virgin of Guadalupe, and Tonantzin brings together Catholic and Indigenous spiritual identities. The other lines name identities or figures but do not show this kind of conflict as clearly.
