What's the one thing in her life that Delia feels is still worth protecting and fighting for?

I think Delia has put up with her husband for so long because she doesn't know any other way to live. Ever since she married him, he has been beating her and after awhile, she began to familiarize it with her husband. Also, being a God-fearing woman, she does not want to divorce her husband because that is a sin in her book so she continues to put up with her husband. However she reaches her limit when he begins to threaten her home, which is what she worked her entire life for. Instead of giving in to his demands which is what she normally does, she stands up to him because her home is the one thing that matters to her in her life and she will not abide by him any longer. Delia puts up with him because she does in a way love him, regardless of how he is. I believe it's called battered woman's syndrome, Delia has been abused by him ever since she got married to him. Usually she just ignored his anger but when she decides not to save him I think she's just thinking good riddance.

I hope this helps you out!

Fragile - tenuous: Whatever they were in the mountains, they could be no more. However tenuous their well-being, however much they had suffered and would suffer again, they had found a way out of the wilderness.

Tenuous means fragile or delicate. After the people found their way out of the wilderness, they were most likely fragile from a lack of proper care and nutrition.

Lobby - beg and barter: In order to consummate the ancient sacrifice—to impale the head of a buffalo bull upon the medicine tree—a delegation of old men journeyed into Texas, there to beg and barter for an animal from the Goodnight herd.

The verb lobby means to persuade. In this passage the old men are trying to persuade someone for an animal.

Pensive - brooding: My grandmother was spared the humiliation of those high gray walls by eight or ten years, but she must have known from birth the affliction of defeat, the dark brooding of old warriors.

Pensive means to be deep in thought. Brooding also means to be deep in thought but usually over something that has a negative outcome. The person brooding usually wishes to change what has happened.

Antagonist - Enmities: Some of them painted their faces and carried the scars of old and cherished enmities.

Enmities is another word for something that is hated, just like an enemy. An antagonist goes against a person or thing and is often hated or strongly disliked so this would be the best choice.
