Summary

The author concludes that it's inappropriate to introduce a quote using phrases like “as so-and-so said” or “as the saying goes” when that quote would contradict whatever was said previously. Instead, those phrases should be used when whatever was previously said will have the effect of illustrating the quote that follows.

We need to find an inappropriate use of a phrase like "as so-and-so said" or "as the saying goes" according to this principle. That means we're looking for an answer where one of those phrases introduces a quote which contradicts whatever was previously said.
