D. The state of his affairs are such as to cause anxiety to his creditors.
Answer: The state of his affairs was such as to cause anxiety to his creditors.
Explanation:
The state of his affairs is expressed in the singular because it only refers to one state. As a result, the verb "be" that corresponds to it must likewise be singular. Only one of the five possible answers, Choice, has the "be" verb in the singular (C). Consequently, it is the right response.
