Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
A curriculum is the organized set of aims, content, and learning experiences through which education responds to society.
Because social needs, knowledge, technology, and learner contexts change, curriculum development is a continuous and adaptive process.
Application
The stem links education with continuous curriculum reform. That link points to responsiveness: education must adjust its aims, content, and methods when social conditions change. Therefore, “Adjust to changing situations” is the best-supported choice.
Contrast
Preserving a fixed democratic philosophy emphasizes continuity of civic ideals, not the need for ongoing curricular revision.
Standardizing core subject content emphasizes uniformity, which can coexist with reform but does not express adaptation.
Maintaining cultural heritage emphasizes transmission of traditions; it is one curricular aim rather than the general reason for continuous reform.
Cross-check
If social conditions did not change, continuous reform would have no general necessity. The phrase “continuous curriculum reform” therefore confirms the adaptive interpretation.
