Because of technology, what experience did Margie not get?

Correct answer: Studying with classmates

Margie’s technology-based education gave her lessons at home, displayed on a screen and delivered by a mechanical teacher. However, it did not give her the experience of learning with classmates. She studied alone, and the machine could not provide the lively companionship, cooperation, conversation, or shared enjoyment of a real classroom. Therefore, option B is correct. Options A, C, and D are all parts of her daily educational routine. When Tommy describes children of the past studying together in a school, Margie begins to imagine that such social learning may have been more enjoyable than her isolated machine instruction.
