With which feeling is the impact of technology most connected in the story?

Loneliness and curiosity

The story connects technological education with Margie’s loneliness and her curiosity about an unfamiliar past. She studies alone at home with a mechanical teacher, without classmates sitting beside her or a human teacher responding to her personally. This isolation makes the old book and Tommy’s description of earlier schools especially fascinating to her. Hence option B is correct. The word “curiosity” is important because Margie begins to wonder how children once learned together, while “loneliness” reflects the emotional limitation of her present arrangement. Options A, C, and D belong to situations not central to this story: there is no collective celebration, war-related fear, or hunger-and-tiredness theme driving the plot. The question therefore links the social and emotional effects of technology with Margie’s mixed feeling of being alone yet eager to know more.
