Which word is best related to the underlined word in the paragraph and how do the words relate? My mother is a 'patron' of the S
nip and Clip Beauty Shop. My dad teases her by saying with the money she spends there, she should own part of the shop by now. But my mom says it is her weekly gift to herself and makes her a more relaxed person. I don't see what she likes about a place that smells like rotten eggs when someone gets a permanent. A. relative Both words describe someone who is part of a family and related in some way. B. member Both words describe someone who is a contributing part of a club or group. C. customer Both words name a person who supports another by giving them business or money. D. guest Both words name a person who is welcomed as a visitor and treated in a special way.
I believe that option C. customer, makes the most sense. This is because patron and customer are synonyms and both mean, essentially, the same thing. Hope it helps!
