Reread the passage from Stanza 16 of "Borderbus."But where do we go hermana that's why I came here they broke my father's legs gangs killed my son I just want us to be together so many years hermana pulled apart. Which tone is best conveyed by the word choices the poet makes in this stanza?

A Fear

B Longing

C regret

D revengefulness​

Probably B, possibly C. The lines “I just want us to be together” indicate longing but the lines “so many years hermana pulled apart” indicates regret.
