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.

Explanation:

The option above will make a good thesis for Carrie because she would be arguing from the point of view of her school placing a ban on students wearing shorts.

<em>This is because, </em><em>few generations ago, the school rules could have been all students to wear long blouse, as the decades progress, it changes to ankle length blouse, to knee length blouse and finally to trousers. </em><em>This shows that, the student dresses changes with each generation.</em>
