What is the correct translation of "to protect"?

  1. Prometer

  2. Proteger

  3. Quitar

  4. Quemar

The correct answer is: Proteger

The correct translation of "to protect" is "proteger." This verb specifically means to guard or keep safe from harm or danger, aligning perfectly with the concept of protection in English. In various contexts, "proteger" is used to refer to actions such as safeguarding individuals, objects, or rights. The other options do not convey this meaning. "Prometer" translates to "to promise," indicating a commitment rather than a protective action. "Quitar" means "to remove," which involves taking something away rather than defending it. Finally, "quemar" means "to burn," which is the opposite of protection, as it involves damage rather than safeguarding. Therefore, "proteger" stands out as the appropriate choice for translating "to protect."
