Look up the word "patriotism" and then let us know what you decide.

My answers are A and D. Am I correct?

A, yes.

D, possibly so

I got it correct. Thank you Writeacher!

Of course! I can help explain how to determine which options are correct.

To determine if a sense of patriotism is an example of the given options, let's go through each option one by one:

A. Love: Patriotism often involves a deep sense of love and attachment towards one's country. Therefore, option A is correct.

B. Fear: While fear can sometimes be associated with protecting one's country or its values, it is not a necessary component of patriotism. So, option B is not correct.

C. Primary emotion: Primary emotions are basic emotions that are considered to be universally experienced by all humans, such as happiness, sadness, anger, etc. Patriotism is not considered to be a primary emotion as it is a complex emotion that arises from social and cultural influences. Thus, option C is not correct.

D. Learned emotion: Patriotism is a learned emotion because it is typically instilled in individuals through socialization, education, and exposure to cultural values and traditions. Therefore, option D is correct.

Based on this analysis, the correct options are A (love) and D (learned emotion).
