Margie's mother's behavior shows which practical approach to technology?

Correct answer: Using technology by running it at the right level

The governing concept is balanced and corrective use of technology rather than blind acceptance or total rejection. When Margie performs poorly in geography, her mother does not discard the mechanical teacher or abandon technological education. Instead, she calls the County Inspector, who discovers that the geography sector has been set too fast and adjusts it to Margie’s level. Option B is correct because the machine is retained but used more appropriately. Option A is extreme and unsupported. Option C confuses instruction with social companionship, which the machine cannot create. Option D has no connection with the mother’s action. The episode suggests that technology can be helpful when monitored, adapted, and placed within a learner-centred approach.
