Which is the most balanced conclusion about technology and education in the story?

Technology changes study but human company remains necessary

A balanced reading must recognise both the usefulness and the cost of technological education. The mechanical teacher offers regular lessons, rapid checking, and the convenience of studying at home. At the same time, Margie's loneliness and her curiosity about the old school show what the system lacks: classmates, shared activities, and a human teacher's personal presence. Option A is correct because it combines these two sides without making an extreme claim. B is wrong because technology does not end education; it changes its form. C is too absolute, since Margie is not always happy with her machine-based routine. D ignores the central subject of the story. The narrative is therefore a thoughtful comparison, not a simple rejection or complete celebration of technology.
