Answer:
The conflict between Gabriel and Maria concerning Antonio's future:
C) They argue about his future because the parents have very distinct ideas about what he should become as a man.
Explanation:
"Bless Me, Ultima" was a 1972 best-selling novel by Rudolfo Anaya. The book narrates the story of Antonio, a young boy - coming of age - who tried to make moral decisions on his own without the undue interference of his parents or the community with their various traditions.
Ultima was offered accommodation in Antonio's home as a relative. Many townsfolk regarded her as a healer and a mystery. Maria and Gabriel, the parents of Antonio, loved and revered Ultima.
Maria was a devout Catholic, who wanted Antonio to follow her Luna family tradition by becoming a catholic priest. Gabriel preferred that Antonio followed the Marez tradition as a restless wanderer across the llano, or plains.
