请教，作文红宝书中的两个句子

Lottery peple who inherit a great deal of money may be able to spend their life in their own way, but few people would regard them as successful merely due to their dinancial fortune.

successful , due这2个词在句中的成分分别是什么？

The fact that education has supplanted money and property in this role is owning to a more egalitarian system of higher education, as well as to more merit-based hiring practices mat generally value individual education over family forture or corrections.

后面这句什么意思，mat指什么呢？value是vt 还n？

p75页，是写的mat， 如果是met， 我也不理解。

“forture”写错了，应是“ fortune”
