What was the difference between the words in the old book and the words on the screen?
Answer:
Answer as written by the student:
The difference between the words in the old book and the words on the screen was that the words in the old book stood still, while the words on the screen moved.
Step-by-step explanation of the answer:
- To answer this question, we need to read the extract carefully and look for the information that matches the question. 📖
- The question asks us what was the difference between the words in the old book and the words on the screen. We can find the answer in the last sentence of the extract: “it was awfully funny to read words that stood still instead of moving the way they were supposed to – on a screen, you know.” ✍️
- This sentence tells us that the words in the old book stood still, which means they did not change or disappear. They were printed on paper and remained the same. 📚
- The sentence also tells us that the words on the screen moved, which means they changed or disappeared. They were shown on a screen and could be replaced by other words. 📺
- Therefore, the answer that best matches the information in the extract is that the words in the old book stood still, while the words on the screen moved. 🙌
- We can also infer that this difference was strange and amusing for Margie and Tommy, since they lived in a time when all stories were shown on a screen and they were not used to seeing words that stood still. 😂
