1. What must parents provide to an AI tool before it can design a useful allowance system?

   1. Their family's values about money such as generosity or work ethic
   2. The exact dollar amount the child will receive each week
   3. A complete list of every chore the child has ever done
   4. The child's complete spending history from birth

2. A parent uses an AI-generated allowance system but stops following it after three weeks. What is the most significant risk of this behavior?

   1. The child will lose interest in saving
   2. The child will learn that money rules are negotiable
   3. The child will become dependent on technology
   4. The parent will be replaced by the AI system

3. Which task is within AI's actual capability when designing an allowance system?

   1. Predicting exactly how a specific child will respond to financial incentives
   2. Drafting family-meeting talking points to introduce the system
   3. Guaranteeing the system will work for any child
   4. Deciding which values the family should prioritize

4. In the lesson's example, a 9-year-old whose parents value generosity, work ethic, and autonomy would most likely benefit from which type of allowance system?

   1. A save-spend-give framework that includes a giving component
   2. An allowance given unconditionally with no requirements
   3. A strict commission-only system with no flexibility
   4. A system that prioritizes saving over all other categories

5. Why does the lesson recommend choosing the simplest possible allowance system?

   1. Complex systems are more likely to be abandoned by parents
   2. Simple systems teach more advanced financial concepts
   3. Children prefer simple systems over complex ones
   4. AI cannot design complex systems accurately

6. What distinguishes a commission-based allowance from a traditional fixed allowance?

   1. Commission requires no parental oversight
   2. Commission is paid only once per year
   3. Commission is determined by the child's age only
   4. Commission ties money directly to completed tasks or chores

7. The lesson identifies which of the following as something AI definitely cannot do?

   1. Draft talking points for family discussions
   2. Predict how a specific child will respond to incentives
   3. Calculate weekly allowance amounts
   4. Propose age-appropriate frameworks

8. A hybrid allowance system combines elements of which two approaches?

   1. Fixed allowance and commission-based work
   2. Banking and cryptocurrency
   3. Academic achievement and sports
   4. Savings and investments

9. When AI proposes an allowance framework, whose responsibility is it to determine the underlying values?

   1. The child who will receive the allowance
   2. The parents or guardians
   3. A standardized template based on the child's age
   4. The AI system automatically selects appropriate values

10. What likely 'point of friction' would a parent face in the first month of implementing an AI-proposed commission system?

    1. The AI system changing the rules automatically
    2. Disagreements about whether a task was completed satisfactorily
    3. The bank refusing to process the transactions
    4. The child refusing to do any chores at all

11. The 'save-spend-give' framework gets its name from what feature?

    1. Three family members involved
    2. Three different payment methods
    3. Three categories of how money can be used
    4. Three separate bank accounts required

12. Why might an AI-proposed system aligned with 'autonomy' as a family value recommend giving the child more control over money decisions?

    1. AI systems prefer to minimize their own workload
    2. AI cannot incorporate values into its recommendations
    3. An autonomy-focused value emphasizes giving the child independence in managing their own money
    4. Autonomy means the child should make all financial decisions without guidance

13. What parent commitment is required regardless of which allowance framework AI proposes?

    1. Allowing the child to renegotiate weekly
    2. Paying the child a minimum of fifty dollars weekly
    3. Eliminating all other forms of pocket money
    4. Consistently enforcing the system over time

14. If a family values 'generosity,' which allowance system component would be most important to include?
