Answer 1

Answer:

A. El indigenismo es como el nacionalismo; es el desarrollo de una identificación con el país y su cultura natal.

Explanation:

The article explains how Romanticism arrived in the Americas and eventually transformed itself into Indigenism. As a literary movement, Romanticism had romantic love. However, and specially in Spain, Romanticism also revived national and mostly rural traditions and stories, bringing them back into popular culture.

In the Americas, this retrieval of old traditions meant the retrieval of pre-colonial traditions and stories which started to showcase the indigenous people as victims of colonialism. That's when Romanticism became Indigenism and lost romantic love as a subject and focused on indigenous people and their traditions.
