How does the impact of technology appear mixed in the story?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It gives convenience and efficiency but also brings loneliness
The governing idea is that technology can produce both benefits and costs, so its impact is not one-sided. In the story, Margie's mechanical teacher can deliver lessons at home, adjust work to her level, and calculate her performance efficiently. These are practical advantages. However, the same system separates her from classmates and removes the warmth, discussion, and shared experience of a traditional classroom. Her interest in the old printed book and old schools reveals what the efficient system lacks. Option B is correct because it includes both convenience and loneliness. A is too extreme, while C denies the obvious changes and D makes an unsupported claim.
