Answer 1

the above answer tell that option for is correct as given in the passage the proof is given

Answer 2

The most direct advantage of having a technology that allows students to see how well they are doing compared to the average of other students is that it gives the a chance to push harder for themselves and their education(Option d)

• The availability of a facility that lets students check their scores and comparisons with the rest of the class offers many benefits
• It lets them directly measure their performance
• They have the means to calculate where they stand in terms of class ranking
• These elements can provide motivation to those that are below average while giving an incentive to those that are above average to maintain their performance
• This system of comparisons can act as a positive motivator and can help unlock a student's potential
• Since this technology displays a student's performance, it does not actively encourage interaction with other students, hence option a is incorrect
• The goals of students are different from those of each other, and the steps necessary to achieve them also differ immensely
• Enabling comparisons between the performances of students does not necessarily provide the steps required to achieve goals, hence option b is incorrect
• While option C can also be the correct answer, the technology does not directly offer motivation to seek help, it is rather the responsibility of the teacher to do so. This is why it is not correct
