  1. You ask for a summary but leave out its intended audience. Why might the result use a level you did not want?

    • A longer prompt automatically fixes every audience mismatch
    • Any summary request proves the reader's age without context
    • The model may assume an audience that differs from yours

  2. You need four multiple-choice questions about recycling for age 13, with explanations under 25 words. Which prompt states those requirements?

    • Make four multiple-choice questions about recycling for older adults; explanations under 25 words
    • Make four multiple-choice questions about recycling for age 13; explanations under 25 words
    • Make four multiple-choice questions about recycling for age 13; explanations of at least 25 words

  3. Your school permits AI help with an essay outline. Which material helps the chatbot address your particular assignment?

    • Only a broad subject, with no assignment requirements or notes
    • The model's assumed position instead of your intended argument
    • Topic, length requirements, stance and relevant notes

  4. You want an answer giving two reasons supported by your supplied notes. Which criterion can you set before reading it?

    • Accept the reasons whenever their wording sounds confident
    • Each reason must be supported by the supplied notes
    • Count two reasons but ignore whether the notes support them

  5. You want to choose an essay's ideas before developing prose. Which first round fits that goal?

    • Request the complete essay before reviewing its proposed ideas
    • Request a finished conclusion before choosing the main argument
    • Request an outline, review it, then expand a chosen section

  6. A chatbot mixes up scenes in a class novel. You need analysis of one passage, and your school permits this use. Which revision gives it the relevant task material?

    • Repeat only the novel's title and ask for greater confidence
    • Ask it to select any scene and infer the class question
    • Supply the permitted passage and the exact question

  7. A chatbot can always identify a private word limit that was never supplied in its available context.

    Circle one:   True   False

  8. A polished answer gives a date you plan to use. The chatbot says it checked the date. What should you do before relying on it?

    • Inspect a reliable source and compare its passage with the date
    • Accept the date because polished wording proves factual accuracy
    • Accept the date because a claimed check cannot contain a mistake

  1. The model may assume an audience that differs from yours · If the audience is not in the available context, the model may make an unwanted assumption. A mismatch is possible, not inevitable.
  2. Make four multiple-choice questions about recycling for age 13; explanations under 25 words · The matching prompt states the subject, count, format, age and explanation limit. The alternatives change the audience or length limit.
  3. Topic, length requirements, stance and relevant notes · Relevant requirements and notes give the assignment's specific context. Share only permitted material and review the outline.
  4. Each reason must be supported by the supplied notes · The requirement includes support from the notes, not just two fluent reasons. Set that evidence criterion before reviewing the answer.
  5. Request an outline, review it, then expand a chosen section · An outline lets you review the proposed ideas before asking for developed prose. This fits the stated goal, not every drafting task.
  6. Supply the permitted passage and the exact question · The passage and question specify the intended analysis. This does not require knowing whether the novel appeared in training, and the output still needs checking.
  7. False · A private requirement that has not been shared is missing from the available context. The model might guess a limit, but cannot be guaranteed to identify yours.
  8. Inspect a reliable source and compare its passage with the date · A tool-assisted check can help but can still be mistaken. Inspect the relevant external evidence before relying on the date.
