Question 6 options:

Two children attempt to decrease their addiction to technology, but their parents won't allow it because they've become too dependent on the luxuries of their home.


A family moves from an African desert to a modern American city. They don't know how to use new technology and must learn how to survive in a modern world. The children decide to stay in America, but the parents decide to return to Africa.


Parents are worried about their children because they're too reliant on technology, specifically their playroom. The parents attempt to take technology away from the children, who adamantly resist, and tragedy comes to the parents in the end.


A family takes a vacation to the African veldt to see many different animals, including lions. They decide to live there and leave behind their expensive home.

Answer 1

The third option. It accurately summarizes Bradbury’s story: parents worry their children are too dependent on the house’s high-tech nursery, try to remove that influence, the children resist and manipulate the nursery, and the parents are ultimately killed there.
