From what viewpoint does the story ask us to see the development of education?

Protecting human values along with technological progress

Option A is correct because the story adopts a balanced and questioning view of educational progress. The mechanical teacher represents technological development and offers certain advantages, such as individual pacing and regular testing. However, Margie's experience also reveals what technology may remove: face-to-face teaching, classmates, emotional support, and the lively atmosphere of a shared school. The story therefore does not demand that all technology be rejected; it asks readers to judge progress by its effect on human learning and relationships. Option B is extreme, while C describes the problem rather than a desirable viewpoint. Option D is directly contradicted by the importance of the printed old book, which opens Margie's imagination.
