What most likely is the reason firemen's jobs changed, according to Captain Beatty in Fahrenheit 451?

• Firemen's jobs changed due to society's anti-intellectualism and the banning of books.
• Firemen's jobs changed as a result of a new government policy on public safety.
• Firemen's jobs changed because of technological advancements in firefighting.
• Firemen's jobs changed due to increased fire hazards in society.

Beatty says, "“School is shortened, discipline relaxed, philosophies, histories, languages
dropped, English and spelling gradually gradually neglected, finally almost
completely ignored. Life is immediate, the job counts, pleasure lies all about after
work. Why learn anything save pressing buttons, pulling switches, fitting nuts
and bolts?” What does Beatty mean by this?

• Beatty believes that education is the most important aspect of life.
• Beatty argues that technology should be ignored in favor of traditional learning.
• Beatty thinks that pleasure is overrated and should not be pursued.
• Beatty means that society has devalued education in favor of immediate job skills and pleasures.
