Answers
He refers to the country inspector and 'it' refers to Margie's mechanical teacher. Margie did not want it to be put together because it gave her tests to solve for which she had to spend long hours solving them by punching the answers and the mechanical teacher would calculate the score in no time.
ENGLISH
The Fun They Had
1️⃣ Whom does 'he' and 'it' refer to?
Ans. 'He' refers to the County Inspector who was a round man with a red face. He was a mechanic of robotic teachers that malfunctioned.
'It' refers to the mechanical teacher that Margie hated the most as it gave her constantly tests and homework. It was big, black and ugly and was always ready for her on study days.
2️⃣ Why did Margie not want it to be back again?
Ans. Margie hated her black and ugly mechanical teacher. It gave her many tests and homework which she had to write down in punch codes and put down a slot. Her score was decreasing rapidly in Geography and the County Inspector was called to inspect it. When the mechanical teacher was taken apart, Margie wished that the Inspector would not know to put it back again or it would be taken away from her house just like Tommy's when his History sector was blanked off.
