fortune, must be in want of a wife." What is the main idea of this sentence?

A. All single rich men are eager to get married.

B. It is a common belief that rich single men should be married.

C. Single men with good fortune are always lonely.

D. People think that single men need a wife to manage their fortune.

答案解析：B。文中明确说“not because he's handsome...but because
