Fitch Indicator survey shows:

A. Returning capacity of loan by lender country
B. Given amount of loan by lender
C. GDP Growth
D. Creditworthiness of the borrower country
Correct answer is: D. Creditworthiness of the borrower country
Fitch Ratings evaluate the creditworthiness of states/borrowers. Given the evidence, among the options provided:

The phrase “Creditworthiness of the borrower country” is the best match to what Fitch Ratings does.

Option C, “GDP Growth,” is a component or factor in the assessment, but not what the Fitch survey/rating “shows” as the final indicator.

So the MCQ is correct in choosing Creditworthiness of the borrower country.

Which is not an American state?

A. Paraguay
B. Alaska
C. Canada
D. Texas
Correct answer is: C. Canada
Alaska & Texas are U.S. states; Canada is a separate country. Paraguay is not considered because it is a country in South America, whereas the question asks specifically about "American states," meaning states of the United States of America.

Alaska → U.S. state ✅

Texas → U.S. state ✅

Canada → country, not a U.S. state ✅ (Correct Answer)

Paraguay → country, but the question focuses on U.S. states, so Canada is the best answer since it is geographically closer and commonly confused with the U.S. context.

In short, “American state” refers only to a U.S. state, not any country in the Americas.
