Solution
The correct option is C earned When he was young, all he 'earned' at the factory was one pound a week. Earn is to receive a monetary amount in exchange of work done. The other words do not justify the logic of the statement. So, option A is correct and the other options are incorrect because they do not provide the appropriate information.
