Why is the idea of old school almost unbelievable for Margie?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because she has only seen home machine education
The governing concept is that a character's experience shapes what seems normal or believable. Margie has always studied at home, at a fixed place and time, with a mechanical teacher delivering individual lessons. She has never attended a building where many children learn together under a human teacher. Consequently, the idea of an old school sounds strange almost beyond belief, even though the printed book provides evidence of it. Option A is correct because it connects her limited experience with her surprise. Option B is false because she can read; C is unsupported because Tommy is explaining a real past system; and D is false because the book contains readable words.
