There was a notice on which was written "Thank you for your respect for others' privacy"---- a polite warning to keep people away from nosing into others' _______(money matters are regarded as privacy in Western countries).
A. pockets B. savings C. needs D. affairs

Thanks for your answer. But could you tell me why answer B is wrong?

Thanks

�Affairs� is correct. �Affairs� mean matters of interest or concern. �Savings� means only money saved. �Privacy� includes others� personal finance, needs, health and so on, not just �savings�.
