TPO6 Reading - 英檢

In 1769 in a little town in Oxfordshire, England, a child with the very
ordianry name of William Smith was born into the poor family of a village
blacksmith. He received rudimentary village schooling but mostly he
roamed his uncle's farm collecting the fossils that were so abundant in the
rocks of the Cotswold hills.When he grew older William Smith taught himself
surveying from books he bought with his small savings and at the age of
eighteen he was apprenticed to a surveyor of the local parish. He then
proceeded to teach himself geology and when he was twenty-four, he went to
work for the company that was excavating the Somerset Coal Canal in the south
of England.

According to paragraph 1 which of the following statements about William Smith
is not true?

(A) Smith learned surveying by reading and by apprenticing for a local
surveyor.
(B) Smith删s family lived in a small English town and possessed little
wealth.
(C) Smith learned about fossils from books he borrowed from his uncle.乢
(D) Smith eventually left his village to work on the excavation of an
English canal.


想請問答案B，possessed little wealth 是指Smith家中沒錢嗎?
還是指他家中是小康呢?

如果照答案是C看來，B好像是指Smith家中沒有錢
那如果要講說家裡擁有一點錢的話要怎麼說呢?

謝謝回答喔~
