Question

E

Answer 1

Answer: B  A mother's conversation with her son reveals that an  overdependence on technology suppresses creative  thought.

Explanation:

The Machine Stops is about a future where human beings were now totally reliant on a Machine to take care of all their needs as they simply relax and talk to each other through screens about ideas.

The story follows Vashti and her son Kuno. Kuno insists that she visit him which she does not want to but eventually agrees to. When she does he tells her of the surface and how the machine is not all it seems. She eventually leaves and years later the machine stopped working.

Throughout the story we see that an overdependece on technology supresses creative thought because with humans so reliant on the machine, there is no need to think for themselves. It was so bad that in one instance a man did not know how to pick up a book that had fallen from his hand because he was out of his rooms where the machine would have picked it for him.
