The Feast of St. John the Baptist, an important Quebec holiday, is celebrated on:

Discover Canada records this in one direct label. The guide writes: Fête nationale (Quebec) June 24 (Feast of St. John the Baptist). The date the test wants is therefore June 24.

Two names for the same day. Discover Canada commits June 24 to TWO names: Fête nationale (Quebec) AND Feast of St. John the Baptist. So the same June 24 holiday has both a civic name (Quebec's Fête nationale) and a religious name (the Feast of St. John the Baptist). The two names reflect Quebec's deep Catholic-and-French heritage.

The day has French-Canadian roots. Discover Canada writes that "the beaver was adopted centuries ago as a symbol of the Hudson's Bay Company. It became an emblem of the St. Jean Baptiste Society, a French-Canadian patriotic association, in 1834." So the figure of St. Jean Baptiste (St. John the Baptist) has been a focal point for French-Canadian identity since at least 1834 — anchoring the modern Fête nationale on his feast day. The "Celebrating Fête Nationale, Gatineau, Quebec" photo caption in the guide confirms the Quebec celebration.

June 24 sits in the Canadian holiday calendar. Discover Canada places June 24 between Victoria Day (Monday preceding May 25 — the Sovereign's birthday) and Canada Day (July 1) in the holiday order. The full Canadian calendar runs from New Year's Day (January 1) through Boxing Day (December 26). June 24 is significant for being just one week before Canada Day on July 1 — placing Quebec's provincial celebration close to the federal Canada Day. The pairing is meaningful: Quebec's provincial holiday celebrates French-Canadian identity, and Canada Day a week later celebrates the country's national identity. So the back-to-back June-July holidays capture Canada's dual identity at the heart of Confederation. So when the test asks the date of the Feast of St. John the Baptist, the source-precise answer is June 24 — Quebec's Fête nationale.

The question is testing whether new citizens know the date of the Feast of St. John the Baptist. Discover Canada commits to one date: June 24. The right test answer matches that.

The wrong answer choices each pick a different month. "May 24" is too early. "July 24" is too late and a month after Canada Day. "August 24" is also too late. Only June 24 — the source's exact date — matches.
