son4ous [18]

Hello, you did not include the passage to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for the question to be answered accurately.

However, I can help you by giving you guidelines on how to complete the sentence and the meaning of the word patron.

When completing a sentence, you must maintain the concept to which it was started. In addition, you must observe the verb tenses used and use verbs at the same time, allowing the sentence to be coherent, cohesive and grammatically correct. That way your sentence will make sense and will be able to form an understandable message.

The word patron is generally used to indicate someone or something, who has the ability to defend, care for, advise and defend another person, animal or object. In other words, the patron always has a heroic and caring sense.
