though usually a calm person,arthur's patience was tried more than once by his son's destructive behaviour.

Answer is : though usually a calm person, Arthur had his patience tried more than once by his son's destructive behaviour

The trouble is I can't identify why is the question incorrect in the first place. Please help!!!!!

possessive pronoun can only refer to possessive noun.

"his" is possessive pronoun of "Arthur's".

now replace the noun with its pronoun in original sentence.

"though usually a calm person,arthur's patience was tried more than once by arthur's son's destructive behaviour" - Does it looks weird?

the corrected sentence remove this awkwardness.
I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.

This sentence belongs to a category of sentences that have modifier issue.

Though usually a calm person should be followed by who is this calm person. The original sentence nonsensically suggests that arthur's patience is the calm person, while it should clearly be Arthur.
