1. A developer needs to analyze a 400-page technical document and ask detailed questions about its entire content. Which Claude 4 model would be most appropriate for this task?

   1. Opus 4, because it handles long reasoning and large contexts better
   2. Sonnet 4, because it's optimized for speed and lower cost
   3. Any Claude 4 model will handle this equally well since they all have the same context window
   4. Claude 4 with 1M-token context, because the full document can fit in a single conversation

2. A startup is building a feature that requires processing 800,000 tokens of customer support chat history in a single prompt. Which Claude 4 configuration would enable this?

   1. Claude 4 with 1M-token context option
   2. Opus 4 standard configuration
   3. Claude 4 with extended memory plugin
   4. Sonnet 4 standard configuration

3. Based on the lesson, what is the main advantage of Sonnet 4 over Opus 4 for everyday use?

   1. Lower cost and faster response times
   2. Longer context memory
   3. Superior coding performance on all benchmarks
   4. Better creativity and humor

4. A software engineer needs to refactor a large legacy codebase with multiple interdependent modules. They want the best possible coding assistance. Which Claude 4 model should they choose?

   1. Opus 4, because it's optimized for serious coding and long reasoning tasks
   2. Sonnet 4, because it's designed for quick refactoring tasks
   3. Claude 4 with 1M tokens, because codebase size is the only factor
   4. Sonnet 4, because it's the most recent version

5. What does the lesson suggest is the best practice for minimizing costs when using Claude 4?

   1. Use Sonnet 4 by default and only upgrade to Opus when necessary
   2. Always use the cheapest model available
   3. Start with Opus 4 and switch if results are poor
   4. Avoid using Claude 4 for simple tasks entirely

6. Anthropic's Claude 4 product line includes two main model variants. What distinguishes them in terms of their intended use?

   1. Opus supports fewer languages, Sonnet supports more
   2. Opus is faster, Sonnet is more accurate
   3. Opus is the heavyweight for intensive tasks, Sonnet is the daily driver for routine work
   4. Opus is for creative writing, Sonnet is for coding

7. A company wants to compare the quality of outputs between Sonnet 4 and Opus 4 on the same coding problem. What should they look for to determine when Opus is worth the additional cost?

   1. Noticeable quality differences on complex problems that justify the higher cost
   2. Whether Opus responds faster than Sonnet
   3. Whether Opus uses less tokens in its response
   4. Whether Opus produces more creative variable names

8. The lesson mentions that Claude 4 can lead a coding leaderboard. What specific benchmark is this referring to?

   1. A benchmark for testing mathematical reasoning
   2. A benchmark for measuring AI humor and personality
   3. A benchmark for comparing text generation speed
   4. A benchmark for evaluating software engineering performance on real-world tasks

9. A user wants to paste an entire novel into Claude 4 and analyze themes across the full book. Which feature enables this capability?

   1. 1M-token context option
   2. 200K-token extended context
   3. Chunked document processing
   4. Multi-turn conversation history

10. Based on the lesson, what type of tasks is Sonnet 4 specifically designed to handle efficiently?

    1. Training new AI models from scratch
    2. Analyzing terabytes of log data
    3. Complex multi-file refactoring projects
    4. Daily tasks that require intelligence without overkill

11. What is the primary reason the lesson recommends starting with Sonnet 4 for most tasks?

    1. Sonnet 4 offers the best balance of speed, cost, and capability for everyday use
    2. Sonnet 4 produces more accurate answers
    3. Sonnet 4 is the only version available via API
    4. Sonnet 4 is newer than Opus 4

12. A developer is building an application that needs to understand codebases with hundreds of thousands of lines. Why would they specifically need the 1M-token Claude 4 version?

    1. To make the AI respond faster
    2. To fit the entire codebase in a single context window for comprehensive analysis
    3. To reduce the cost per API call
    4. To enable real-time code completion
