Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
Technology has made it possible for us to reach out to more students, and it has also made it possible for us to deliver the same lessons in a much more __________ manner.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3, i.e., resourceful.
- The sentence describes how technology enables us to reach more students and deliver the same lessons in a much more ... manner. The blank calls for a positive descriptor of how the delivery has improved.
- “Resourceful” means clever, efficient, and capable of solving problems, which fits perfectly when describing improved teaching methods enhanced by technology. As defined: a resourceful person or method is one that finds quick, smart ways to address challenges.
The other options don’t fit logically:
Encumbering – means burdensome or hindering.
Lumbering – implies slow and clumsy movement.
Incompetent – means unable or unskilled—clearly the opposite of what's intended.
Technology has made it possible for us to reach out to more students, and it has also made it possible for us to deliver the same lessons in a much more resourceful manner.
