Solution
The correct option is C has From the sentence, 'passed away' indicates that the event occurred in the past. So, options A) and B) are incorrect. Between options C) and D), option D) is correct because the sentence mentions or talks about the same person who was 'a good man' and 'a useful citizen'. So the subject is singular, not plural, which requires the use of the singular auxiliary verb 'has.'
