How is Margie’s place of study different from the old school?

She studies at home

The correct answer is A, “she studies at home.” Margie has a mechanical teacher installed in a schoolroom in her own house, so she does not travel to a common school building. In the old system described by Tommy, children went to a shared school where they met classmates and learned from a human teacher. The difference is therefore both physical and social: Margie remains at home and studies separately, while older children gathered together. Options B, C, and D invent locations that are never mentioned in the story. The governing comparison is between home-based, individualized machine instruction and a communal traditional school. This contrast helps explain why Margie feels curious about the old arrangement and imagines that it may have been more enjoyable.
