1. An activist group plans to create a political advertisement using a cloned voice of a sitting senator to criticize the senator's position. What does the lesson identify as the primary concern with this scenario?

   1. The reference audio would need over 30 minutes of clean speech
   2. The clone would lack proper watermark detection
   3. The emotional direction tags would produce misleading tone
   4. Political content using a real identifiable person's voice is explicitly off-limits

2. A medical technology company wants to preserve the voice of a patient who will undergo surgery that may affect their speech. Is this an appropriate use case?

   1. No, only deceased persons' voices require estate approval
   2. Yes, but only if the patient records over 30 minutes of audio first
   3. No, medical applications require special ElevenLabs certification
   4. Yes, preserving a speaker's voice for medical conditions that affect speech is a legitimate use case

3. What minimum amount of reference audio does Instant Voice Clone require to produce a convincing voice clone?

   1. 5-10 seconds
   2. 10-15 minutes
   3. 30+ minutes
   4. 30-60 seconds

4. An audiobook narrator wants to create a clone of their own voice to narrate books in languages they do not speak. What does the lesson identify as a necessary first step?

   1. Submit the clone for watermark verification
   2. Record in a room with background music for texture
   3. Wait for hours to days for professional approval
   4. Obtain written consent from themselves specifying scope and duration

5. A content creator plans to clone a famous actor's voice for a parody video. Even if the video is clearly satirical, what does the lesson indicate about this practice?

   3. Parody requires only verbal consent, not written
   4. The watermark makes this legally safe

6. What security measures does ElevenLabs embed to deter casual abuse of voice cloning?

   1. Audio watermarks and a voice-captcha for enrollment
   2. Voice biometrics and government ID verification
   3. Two-factor authentication and email verification
