ANSWERS. VERIFIED
1. Which phase of the User-Centered Design (UCD) process involves creating personas and
user journey maps?
A. Evaluation
B. Design
C. Requirements Analysis
D. Implementation
Answer: C
Conceptual Explanation: The Requirements Analysis phase focuses on understanding
user needs, which is where personas and journey maps are developed.
2. According to Gestalt principles, which principle states that elements close to one another
are perceived as a group?
A. Similarity
B. Proximity
C. Continuity

A. To test final visual aesthetics
B. To quickly iterate on layout and flow without high costs
C. To demonstrate high-level interaction to stakeholders
D. To provide a production-ready code base
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: Low-fidelity prototypes are meant for rapid iteration and testing
basic concepts rather than fine visual details.
