Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to this question is B. Answer choices A and D do not make much sense. C is not the best answer because a person who lives in the US do not always have to feel loyalty to the country they live in.

Answer:

b) A person who loves his or her country and is ready to boldly support and defend it.

Step-by-step explanation:

A patriot is a person who actively supports his or her country and is prepared to defend it against enemies or detractors.

In Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms," Gino calls himself a patriot, and the priest also calls Henry a patriot because he is a foreigner fighting for Italy, which is flattering because he respects Henry.
