To determine whether the statement contradicts the information in "Reaching Great Heights," we need to analyze both the statement and the context provided by the account of William F. Smith Jr. However, without access to the specific content of "Reaching Great Heights," I can only provide a general approach.
In general, if “Reaching Great Heights” presents specific facts, experiences, or conclusions about William F. Smith Jr.'s journey or situation, any statement that directly opposes those facts or experiences would be considered contradictory.
If the statement claims something about William F. Smith Jr. that sharply contrasts with what is documented in the account (e.g., he would have achieved a certain milestone that is explicitly stated as unachievable in the narrative), then it would be true that the statement contradicts the account.
Without the actual content to analyze, I can't definitively say whether the answer is "True" or "False." However, you should assess the statement in question against the details provided in "Reaching Great Heights" to identify any contradictions.
