OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
B,E,H
The key to predicting for the first blank is understanding that "extol" means "to praise." The detour road sign "[w]hile" indicates that there is a "vocal group of educators" who do not praise technology. Instead, this group repudiates, (B), or "rejects," such technology. Applauds, (A), is the opposite of the prediction. Exculpates, (C), means "to free from blame," which does not work in the context.
Since the "vocal group of educators" rejects technology, predict that they believe such "a pedagogical approach" would have negative consequences. Counterproductive, (E), provides the right meaning for the blank. Feasible, (D), which means "possible" or "suitable," and beneficial, (F), do not match the prediction.
Note the detour road sign "not" before blank (iii). Given that these educators believe that a technology-based teaching approach would be counterproductive, the last part of the sentence should indicate that teaching strategies would not be improved with technology. Augmented, (H), means either "made larger" or "improved" and matches the prediction. Undermined, (G), provides the opposite meaning, and terminated, (I), does not fit the context.

I think 'undermined' works as well.
The critics argue that the teaching is so good that it wouldn't be undermined by these bad (counterproductive) technology.
not a good question imo
