1. What is the main idea of "Prompt Compression Techniques"?

   1. Long prompts drive cost. Compression techniques (LLMLingua, manual) reduce tokens while preserving quality.
   2. Use AI as the final authority for the whole decision
   3. Avoid checking the answer once it sounds polished
   4. Focus only on speed instead of judgment

2. Which concept is most central to "Prompt Compression Techniques"?

   1. tokens
   2. prompt compression
   3. cost
   4. unrelated shortcut

3. Which use of AI fits this topic best?

   1. Compress without measuring quality
   2. Let the AI decide what matters without your review
   3. Manually compress prompts (remove redundancy, tighten language)
   4. Use the answer before checking whether it fits the situation

4. Which limitation should you watch for in this topic?

   1. Manually compress prompts (remove redundancy, tighten language)
   2. Explain the topic in plain language
   3. Organize a draft for human review
   4. Compress without measuring quality

5. What should a careful learner remember about "Prompt compression strategy"?

   1. Use AI to draft or organize ideas about prompt compression, then verify before acting.
   2. Skip the context so the tool can guess faster
   3. Treat the output as private even after sharing it online
   4. Use the answer without checking the source

6. You want to use AI after this lesson. What is the safest next step?

   1. Act immediately because the AI answer is written clearly
   2. Use AI for drafting and comparison, but verify before publishing or relying on it.
   3. Hide uncertainty so the final answer looks cleaner
   4. Use private or sensitive details before checking permission

7. How should AI output about prompt compression be treated?

   1. As proof that no other source is needed
   2. As a replacement for context, consent, or expert review
   3. As a draft or helper output that still needs human judgment and verification
   4. As something that becomes correct when it sounds confident

8. Name one way to verify an AI answer about prompt compression.

9. Which action would help you apply "Prompt Compression Techniques" responsibly?

   1. Eliminate token cost entirely
   2. Use the tool to avoid thinking through the tradeoff
   3. Keep going even if the output conflicts with a trusted source
   4. Use compression tools (LLMLingua) where supported

10. Which choice is a bad use of AI for this lesson?

    1. Eliminate token cost entirely
    2. Manually compress prompts (remove redundancy, tighten language)
    3. Ask for a plain-language explanation of tokens
    4. Compare the answer with a trusted source
