Why is education not shown as only giving information in the story?

Correct answer: Because relationships and experiences are also important in it

The governing concept is the broad meaning of education. The story contrasts the efficient delivery of programmed information with the richer experience of a traditional classroom. Education can include understanding, discussion, emotional connection, cooperation, shared memories, and the ability to learn with and from other people. Margie's interest in old schools shows that she is attracted not only to their lessons but also to the relationships and experiences surrounding them. Option A is correct because it recognises these wider dimensions. Option B is false because the story contains both printed and electronic books, while C and D are unsupported: the children can use language, and Margie's machine is functioning for most of the narrative.
