I would say it's the second one.

Simply, the passage is saying that if the technology is unobtrusive, it is considered to be successfully integrated. And the measurement of technology being unobtrusive is how much attention the user pays to the technology. And this is often a result of familiarity.

When we use the pen to write, we focus more on what's being written rather than the mechanism of the pen. That's because we are FAMILIAR with pens.

Likewise, when we become familiar with technology, we stop focusing on the technology itself. Instead, we focus on its use in our education. Example: when using a computer to write our essay, we focus on our essay rather than how the computer actually writes our essay. This is because we've become so familiar with computers.

For the answer, the BLANK results in the conclusion that technology has not been successfully integrated. The passage talks about how familiarity leads to this success, so the blank needs to be the opposite.

No familiarity: the user's focus is on the technology itself rather than its use --> unsuccessfully inegrated.

@gmt1361 did you mean how much time I took to solve it? I think I took about 5ish minutes? The typing and explanation took about another 5.

@gmt1361 It took me about 3 minutes. The wording made it a little challenging, but I knew that because the sentence contradicts what was said earlier in the paragraph, 2 was the only answer that fit.
