高考英语翻译的问题

这是一段听力材料
A: Is your city a historical place?
B: Not rally. 200 years ago, it was just a small insignificant village.
A: How did it grow into such a large place?
B: Large deposits of coal were found nearly and so many industries located themselves here. The village quickly grew into a key industrial centre.
A: As the city grew, it must have absorbed many villages nearby.
B: Yes, it did. The names of those villages survive as the names of parts of the city.
A: I see. Are there any buildings more than 200 years old in your city?
B: Oh, yes. Several of the buildings from the villages still survive. Many of them were inns for travelers and today they survive as pubs. There was a castle near one village, so our city has a castle too.
A: Really? So your city does have some old history after all.
有道题目：What is the man's(B) hometown famous for ?
A.Scenery B.Minials C.Historical building 答案是B 为什么

Answer 1

Large deposits of coal were found nearly,其中 coal 是煤炭的意思。

Answer 2

答案B应该是minerals吧...
是这样的，A是景观，但是他们对话根本没提什么景色的事儿
C呢，历史建筑，虽然B说的确有一些历史建筑，但是一上来对于你的城市是不是一个historical place，已经给予了“not really”的否定答案

而B，minerals,矿物，正是这个城市慢慢从小村庄发展成工业大城的原因，不就是B的家乡最重要的元素了吗

Answer 3

矿产出名的，他不是历史名郡，也不是旅游景点，只是在这附近发现了煤矿
