How does technology's impact increase distance between child and teacher in the story?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A machine gives instructions instead of a human teacher
In the story, the mechanical teacher gives lessons, asks questions, and checks the child’s work instead of a human teacher doing these things directly. The child therefore interacts mainly with a machine and follows its fixed instructions. There is little natural conversation, emotional understanding, or friendly exchange between the learner and the teacher.
Thus, option A is correct: a machine gives instructions instead of a human teacher. This arrangement increases the distance between the child and the teacher because the machine cannot form a warm personal relationship. Option B says the opposite, while the other choices do not explain how technology changes the teacher–student relationship.
