Why does Margie's dislike not show that technology is a total failure?

Because the problem lies in its use and experience, not merely in technology's existence

Margie's dislike should be read as a criticism of an incomplete educational experience, not as a rejection of every technological tool. The mechanical teacher can provide regular lessons, tests, and personalised instruction, and the County Inspector can repair it when it malfunctions. What it cannot provide adequately is companionship, emotional responsiveness, and the lively exchange of a classroom. Option A is correct because it gives this balanced interpretation: the weakness lies in how technology is designed and used without enough human connection. B is false because Margie does study, C never happens, and D is wrong because the printed book helps her imagine a richer form of education. The story invites evaluation, not an absolute verdict.
