Explanation:

- Option 1: Missing capital letters inside inverted comma

This option suggests that the sentence might lack capital letters inside the quotation marks, but it is not applicable here since the quoted question starts correctly with a capital "H."

- Option 2: Missing commas

This option indicates the absence of commas. There is a comma before the quotation marks (after "said"), which is correct for direct speech, so this isn't applicable here.

- Option 3: Missing inverted cimmas

This refers to missing inverted commas, but the sentence correctly uses them at the beginning and end of the quoted speech.

- Option 4: Missing capital letters outside inverted commas

This option suggests an error outside the quotes regarding capital letters. However, this is not correct since "John" is already capitalized.

The correct answer is Option 1

The sentence incorrectly capitalizes "john" outside of the quotes; it should be "John."
