Q1 Question 1 of 75
2026/2027
A fintech startup needs their language model to categorize bank transactions into labels like "dining,"
"transport," and "utilities." The team has no labeled examples available and wants the model to rely
entirely on its pre-trained knowledge. Which prompting approach best fits this constraint?
A. Zero-shot prompting, which asks the model to classify directly using only the task description and
its internal knowledge
B. Few-shot prompting, which provides two or three labeled transaction examples before the target
query
C. Chain-of-thought prompting, which requires the model to explain its reasoning step before
Rationale:

Q2 Question 2 of 75
A logistics company asks their LLM to compute the total shipping cost for a multi-leg route with
different weight tiers and distance surcharges. The model keeps returning incorrect final totals
despite producing accurate intermediate calculations. Which prompting technique would most directly
address this failure?
A. Role prompting, by assigning the model the persona of a senior logistics analyst to improve domain
accuracy
B. Chain-of-thought prompting, by instructing the model to show each calculation step sequentially
before giving the final answer
C. Negative prompting, by explicitly listing common arithmetic errors the model should avoid

accuracy on multi-step mathematical and logical tasks. Role prompting (option A)
improves tone and domain framing but does not fix computational errors in multi-step arithmetic.
Correct Answer: B
Q3 Question 3 of 75
A healthcare SaaS vendor wants their LLM to draft patient discharge summaries using clinical
terminology and a cautious, conservative tone. The vendor notices the model's default output sounds
too casual and sometimes omits important medical caveats. What is the most effective single change
to improve output quality?
A. Lowering the temperature parameter to 0.1 to minimize creative language and enforce factual
brevity
B. Switching from a system prompt to a user prompt so the clinical instructions appear closer to the
input text
C. Assigning a detailed clinical persona via the system prompt, specifying the model's role, audience,
tone, and required terminology
Rationale:
D. Providing three example discharge summaries in the user message so the model can mimic their
Role prompting through a well-crafted system prompt establishes a persistent clinical persona that shapes tone,

across every response. Providing few-shot examples (option D) can help with format but
does not reliably enforce a cautious clinical tone the way a defined persona does.
Correct Answer: C

, A software consultancy is building a customer support chatbot and must decide how to separate
global behavioral rules from per-conversation user messages. The global rules include a policy
against sharing competitor pricing, a requirement to escalate billing disputes, and a brand voice
guideline. Where should these rules be placed?
A. In the user prompt, because user prompts are evaluated with higher attention weights by most
transformer architectures
B. In a separate preamble message sent immediately before each user message to ensure proximity
to the query
C. Distributed evenly across multiple user messages so the model sees them repeated throughout the
conversation
Rationale:
D. In the system prompt, which is processed once at the start and persists as persistent behavioral

across the entire
entire session session. Placing rules in the user prompt (option A) mixes global policy with

per-turn content and risks the model ignoring them when user input is long.
Correct Answer: D
Q5 Question 5 of 75
An e-commerce platform generates thousands of product descriptions daily by feeding item attributes
into an LLM prompt. The engineering team wants a maintainable approach where copywriters can
update the tone and structure without modifying application code. Which solution best meets this
requirement?
A. A prompt template with placeholder variables like {{product_name}} and {{features}}, stored
separately from code and filled at runtime
B. A single hardcoded prompt string within the application's data layer that concatenates product
fields directly
C. A fine-tuned model trained on the company's existing product catalog to bypass prompting entirely
Rationale:
D. A chain-of-thought prompt that asks the model to first analyze the product category before writing
Prompt templates with variable placeholders separate prompt design from application logic, allowing
the description
non-technical copywriters to modify tone and structure independently. Hardcoding the prompt (option B) requires
a code change every time the copy team wants to adjust wording, which defeats the maintainability goal.
Correct Answer: A
Q6 Question 6 of 75
A creative advertising agency uses an LLM to generate tagline candidates for client campaigns. The
creative director wants diverse, unexpected suggestions for brainstorming but then needs the model
to produce a single polished, predictable tagline for the final deliverable. Which parameter strategy
best supports this two-phase workflow?
A. Set temperature to 0.0 for brainstorming and increase top-p to 1.0 for the final selection to narrow
choices
B. Use a high temperature like 0.9 during brainstorming for diversity, then lower it to around 0.2 for the
final polished output
C. Keep temperature at 0.5 throughout both phases and adjust only the system prompt between
Rationale:
brainstorming and final output
Higher temperature increases output randomness and diversity, which is ideal for brainstorming phases, while
D. Set top-p to 0.1 during brainstorming to force the model into niche vocabulary, then raise it to 0.9
lower temperature produces more deterministic and consistent results for final deliverables. Keeping
for the final
temperature tagline(option C) does not provide the variability shift needed between exploration and
constant
convergence.
Correct Answer: B
