   A financial analyst needs an AI to extract key metrics from earnings reports and output them in a table with columns: Revenue, Net Income, EPS, and Year-over-Year Change. The AI sometimes omits the YoY change. Which prompt is most likely to produce the desired table consistently?

   • AInstruct the AI to 'be thorough' and include all metrics.
   • BProvide an example of a completed table for one report and instruct the AI to follow that format for all reports.
   • CSay 'Extract the metrics and present them in a table' and let the AI decide the columns.
   • DAsk the AI to 'list all important metrics' without specifying the table format.

   Which statement best describes the role of prompt engineering in optimizing AI interactions?

   • AIt is the process of designing input prompts to steer the model's behavior and improve the usefulness of its outputs.
   • BIt guarantees that the AI model will always produce a factually correct answer.
   • CIt is a one-time setup that, once applied, requires no further adjustments for different tasks.
   • DIt involves adjusting the model's internal parameters to improve performance on specific tasks.

   A training coordinator wants an AI to create quiz questions from a manual. Each question must have four options, one correct answer, and a difficulty rating. The AI sometimes produces questions with only three options. What should the coordinator include in the prompt to enforce the required format?

   • AAsk for 'good quiz questions' and hope the AI follows standard formats.
   • BState 'Create quiz questions with four options, one correct answer, and a difficulty rating' and provide an example question.
   • CTell the AI to 'use common sense' when creating questions.
   • DProvide a list of topics and ask the AI to generate questions without specifying format.

   Why is it important to include sufficient context in a prompt when asking an AI to perform a task?

   • AIt helps the model understand the user's intent and produce a more relevant response.
   • BIt is required for the model to generate any response at all.
   • CIt prevents the model from ever making a factual error.
   • DIt increases the model's training speed.
