The wrong speed of the Geography sector shows failure of which educational principle?

Teaching according to learner ability

Option C is correct because the Geography sector is supposed to match Margie's learning capacity and progress. When the mechanical teacher sets the pace incorrectly, the lesson becomes unsuitable: it may be too difficult, too fast, or otherwise poorly aligned with what the learner can presently understand. This illustrates the educational principle of adapting instruction to the learner's ability and giving appropriate feedback. Option A concerns play and does not explain the teaching error. Option B refers to the old book, not the speed of a lesson. Option D is entirely unrelated to learning effectiveness. The question therefore tests the connection between instructional pace, individual ability, and meaningful learning rather than the appearance of the school environment.
