What broader message is strengthened by the importance of human teachers in the story?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Technology may be useful but cannot replace human relationships
The governing message is a balanced view of technology. The mechanical teacher is useful because it delivers lessons, gives tests, and can be adjusted to an individual level. However, the story also reveals what it cannot supply: companionship, spontaneous conversation, emotional understanding, and the lively atmosphere of a shared classroom. Margie's interest in the old book shows that she longs for these human qualities. Thus option A is correct: technology may support education, but it cannot automatically replace human relationships. Option B is too absolute, while C and D contradict the story's appreciation of classrooms and teachers.
