Answer 1

Hint: Most of such questions have one or two mistakes in them. The most general mistake is punctuation mistakes or letter capitalization errors.

Complete answer:
 Here, we can clearly see the mistake in this question, which is letter capitalization error. You must know which letter should be capitalized and which shouldn’t. Here, there is the name of a place, whose first letter should be capital. Even the first letter of the first word of the sentence should be capital.
Now, let us examine all the given options to find out the correct option :
Option ‘a’ – This cannot be the correct answer as the first letter if ‘Assisi’ is small and not capital. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option ‘b’ – This has all the correct capital letters, with all of them correctly placed. The first letter of ‘the’, ‘Francis’, and ‘Assisi’ has to start with a capital letter, and they do start with it in this sentence.
Option ‘c’ – This is not the correct answer as the first letter of the word ‘Francis’ is small and not capital. So, we will eliminate this option.
Option ‘d’ – Changes have to be made in the given sentence, so this cannot be the correct option.
As we have analyzed all the given options, we can easily figure out the correct answer. Here, the correct sentence is – The patron saint of animals is Saint Francis of Assisi. Hence, option ‘b’ is the correct option.

Note:
All the other options are plausible distractions. Differentiate between them by checking all the words which should start with a capital letter.
