Answer 2

The answers are A, B and D.

Teresa of Avila was known for her mystical experiences rather than service to the poor. Some may mistake her name with Mother Teresa, who was a saint that always gave service to the "poorest of the poor". Teresa of Avila was canonized in 1622, not executed. Her death was in 1582.
