Discuss patriotism and how it may have went to far?

Aye, we don't have any options, article, book or anything to know what and when we are writing about. I will do my best though.

Patriotism. What the heck is it:

Patriotism is supporting one(s) country. If you are from France you would be a patriot and support France. If you are from America you would support America. Your just standing up for and  supporting your country / where you live.

How does / can it get out of hand:

If someone from one county or place runs into a person from another county or place, then things could get ugly. (Not physically run into, but figuratively.) Those two people could get into an argument about who's country is better, politics, who runs / leads them better and who is more successful.

Hope that made sense (I don'e really know what I wrote down)

the correct answer is:

b) a rich merchant.
