What effect does technology have on children's imagination in the story?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They see old schools as a strange and interesting idea
The governing idea is that imagination is shaped by a person's experience and surroundings. Margie and Tommy live in a future where lessons are delivered at home by mechanical teachers and books are read on screens. Therefore, when they find a printed book describing children studying together in a school building, the idea seems unusual, almost strange, yet fascinating to them. Option A is correct because their technological routine makes the old school a surprising object of imagination. Option B is false because they do not attend such schools, while C and D contradict their understanding of education and telebooks. The contrast also suggests that technology can broaden convenience but narrow knowledge of older human experiences.
