    Solution

    ‘Advocate’ is incorrect, the context of the sentence is not talking about a particular person, and ‘advocacy’ is the correct word, the context of the sentence talks about a publicly supported idea. So, ‘advocate’ is contextually incorrect ‘Advocate’ – a person who puts a case on someone else’s behalf ‘Enables’ – make it possible                         ‘Preemptive’ – taken as a measure against something possible ‘Ruffled’ – disarranged
