1. What problem does Docker solve when you want to run an application on different computers?

   1. It makes the application run faster on newer computers
   2. It ensures the application works the same way regardless of which computer runs it
   3. It automatically writes the code for your application
   4. It replaces the need for any operating system

2. A Dockerfile contains instructions for building a Docker image. What is a Docker image?

   1. A text file that lists computer requirements
   2. A debugging tool that shows errors
   3. A picture of a server rack
   4. A template that contains the app and everything needed to run it

3. Why might someone paste a Dockerfile into an AI and ask for an explanation?

   1. To convert the file into a different programming language
   2. To run the container immediately without any other tools
   3. To automatically fix all errors in the file
   4. Because the syntax is unfamiliar and hard to read

4. What does it mean to 'slim down' a Docker image?

   1. Crop the image to fit on smaller screens
   2. Compress the image into a ZIP file
   3. Remove unnecessary files to make the image smaller
   4. Change the image colors to use less memory

5. A student asks AI to write a Dockerfile for their Node.js app. What is Node.js?

   1. A tool for testing network speed
   2. A JavaScript runtime that lets you run JavaScript on a server
   3. A container runtime environment
   4. A type of Docker image

6. Why does the lesson say using AI to understand Docker 'feels like cheating'?

   1. Because Docker is actually against the rules
   2. Because AI runs the container for you in the cloud
   3. Because it makes understanding complex syntax seem easy
   4. Because AI writes the entire application for you

7. What does the lesson mean when it says to 'stop copy-pasting blindly'?

   1. Never use code from the internet
   2. Only paste code that you wrote yourself
   3. Stop using keyboard shortcuts
   4. Understand what you're pasting instead of just copying without knowing what it does

8. What is a container in Docker terminology?

   1. A file that stores passwords
   2. A shipping box for physical objects
   3. A running instance of a Docker image
   4. A type of server that only runs on weekends

9. A container won't start. What could be a valid reason for this problem?

   1. The image was built on a Tuesday
   2. The computer monitor is turned off
   3. The Dockerfile has an error or missing dependency
   4. The container is tired from running too long

10. Why would a 2GB Docker image be a problem?

    1. It uses too much disk space and takes long to download
    2. It can only run on gaming computers
    3. It will crash your text editor
    4. It requires a special license

11. What does 'packages your app' mean in the context of Docker?

    1. Bundles your app with all its dependencies so it can run anywhere
    2. Wraps your app in a pretty design
    3. Puts your app in a physical box for shipping
    4. Compresses your app into a single file

12. What kind of questions could you ask AI about a Dockerfile?

    1. Why this line is needed, what that command does, or how to fix errors
    2. What the weather is like in the Dockerfile
    3. How to make the Dockerfile into a PDF
    4. Only questions about colors and fonts

13. What does 'running the same on any computer' mean for a Docker container?

    1. The container behaves identically regardless of the host operating system
    2. The container shows the same error messages
    3. The container must use the same hardware
    4. The container looks the same visually on all screens

14. Why might you ask AI to write a Dockerfile for your Node app instead of writing it from scratch?

    1. Because AI knows the correct structure and common patterns
    2. Because Docker doesn't work with Node
    3. Because writing Dockerfiles is illegal
    4. Because Node apps can't run without AI

15. What is the main benefit of using AI to learn about Docker?

    1. You never have to type any commands
    2. Docker becomes obsolete
    3. AI explains confusing syntax in plain language
    4. You can skip learning entirely
