C)Barely capable of moving ahead. D)Overwhelmed by the resources online.

本题考查对文章中作者情感态度的理解。解题思路是仔细分析文章中作者对自己在金钱世界里状态的描述，然后将各选项与这些描述进行对比，判断哪个选项最能准确体现作者的感受。

• 文章中作者提到“while I was researching, I still kept wishing that I didn’t have to play catch - up with the money world”，说明作者在金融知识方面有追赶的压力。
• 又说“I felt that I was sailing the financial seas with no skills and no life jacket”，把自己在金融世界的状态比喻成在海上航行却没有技能和救生衣。
• 分析选项A：“Badly equipped to survive”意思是装备不足难以生存，这与作者描述的没有技能和救生衣的状态相符，表明作者觉得自己在金融世界缺乏必要的工具和能力，所以该选项正确。
• 分析选项B：“Ignorant of financial literature”指对金融文献一无所知，文章中作者只是说要追赶金融知识，并没有特别强调对金融文献的无知，所以该选项不符合。
• 分析选项C：“Barely capable of moving ahead”表示勉强能够前进，虽然与作者的描述有一定关联，但不如选项A直接体现出作者缺乏应对金融世界的能力，所以该选项不准确。
• 分析选项D：“Overwhelmed by the resources online”是被在线资源压倒，文章提到有很多资源，但并没有表明作者被这些资源压倒，所以该选项也不正确。
