Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

B. False

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "Another Place, Another Time," written by<em> Cory Doctorow. </em>It focuses on the protagonist named Gilbert and his curiousity about time. When it comes to Gilbert's feelings about time, he believes that <em>time is another dimension </em>and <u>people are capable of going back or going forward</u><em> (in a similar fashion to that of time trave</em>l). So, this makes the statement above as "false," because it didn't focus on time as something we have no control of, but<em> something we can control.</em>

This explains the answer.
