What did technology make Margie feel about old schools?

Correct answer: They were probably more fun

The governing idea is that highly technological education can make students recognise the value of shared, human schooling. Margie studies alone at home with a mechanical teacher, receives regular tests, and has no classmates sitting beside her. After Tommy explains that children once went to a special building, learned together, and were taught by human teachers, Margie imagines that such schools must have been more enjoyable. Option A is correct because it expresses her hopeful curiosity, not a proven historical judgment. Options B, C, and D contradict the description: old schools were not presented as frightening, empty of children, or dominated by machines.
