Why does Margie find her education boring?

Because she studies alone with a machine

Margie finds education boring mainly because her learning is solitary and repetitive. She studies at home with a mechanical teacher, follows its programmed lessons, and has no classmates with whom she can talk, compare answers, or share enjoyable experiences. The machine also gives her regular tests, which makes learning feel like an isolated routine rather than a lively social activity. Thus option D is correct. Option A does not explain her boredom, since receiving books is not presented as the problem. B is false because Margie does not travel by a school bus, and C is the opposite of the story because the machine continues teaching and testing her. Her reaction supports the story’s theme that technology may deliver instruction without replacing companionship.
