    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The explanation for the answer "False" is that the boy's assumption is not necessarily true. While it is possible that people buy more things today because they have more money, there could be other factors influencing their purchasing behavior. For example, advancements in technology and the availability of online shopping have made it easier for people to buy things, regardless of their financial situation. Additionally, people's buying habits can be influenced by cultural, social, and psychological factors, rather than just their income level. Therefore, it cannot be concluded that people buy more things solely because they have more money.
