Which term denotes patriotic sentiment toward one's nation?

• A. Nationalism
• B. Courage
• C. Filipinism
• D. Hypocrisy

Answer: (A)

Patriotic sentiment toward one's nation is described by nationalism. Nationalism captures a sense of pride in national identity and a commitment to the nation’s interests, culture, and well-being. It goes beyond mere bravery or personal traits to describe loyalty and devotion to the country as a whole.

Courage is about bravery and facing danger, not specifically about love for or loyalty to a nation. Filipinism refers to Filipino-ness or Filipino cultural traits, which can relate to national identity but isn’t the standard term for patriotic sentiment toward the nation. Hypocrisy means pretending to hold beliefs or virtues one does not actually possess, which has no direct connection to national patriotism.

So, nationalism is the term that denotes patriotic sentiment toward one's nation.
