1. A development team is choosing an agent orchestration framework. Which factor should they evaluate LAST?

   1. The framework's built-in observability tools
   2. The team members' preferred programming language syntax
   3. The framework's error handling capabilities
   4. The framework's state management approach

2. Why is framework evolution a critical consideration when selecting an agent orchestration tool?

   1. Mature frameworks always offer more features than newer alternatives
   2. Established frameworks have better community support and documentation
   3. Older frameworks are more stable and require less maintenance
   4. Young projects can undergo significant API changes that break existing code

3. Which capability is MOST important to test when evaluating an agent framework's operational maturity?

   1. The visual appeal of the framework's dashboard interface
   2. The ability to trace agent decision-making paths during failures
   3. How quickly the framework installs via package managers
   4. The number of pre-built agent templates provided

4. A team has strict requirements for tracking every agent action for audit purposes. Which framework characteristic should they prioritize?

   1. Built-in logging and tracing infrastructure
   2. State management flexibility
   3. Maximum concurrent agent support
   4. Minimal dependency footprint

5. What does the lesson explicitly state AI tools CANNOT do regarding framework selection?

   1. Consider team capacity and technical constraints
   2. Evaluate multiple frameworks against defined criteria
   3. Recommend a framework that solves all possible problems
   4. Provide operational maturity comparisons

6. When designing a test workload for agent framework evaluation, what is the PRIMARY purpose?

   1. To identify which framework has the best marketing materials
   2. To simulate representative tasks the agents will perform in production
   3. To determine which framework is the most popular
   4. To compare framework installation times across different operating systems

7. A startup with three developers needs to deploy agents to production within two weeks. Which framework consideration should drive their selection?

   1. Evaluating team familiarity with the framework's patterns
   2. Choosing the framework with the most configurable options
   3. Prioritizing the framework with the largest GitHub star count
   4. Selecting the newest framework with cutting-edge features

8. What operational complexity can framework selection NOT eliminate, even with careful evaluation?

   1. Runtime failures caused by external service dependencies
   2. All debugging and monitoring responsibilities
   3. The requirement for version control of agent configurations
   4. The need for error handling in agent logic

9. LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, and Swarm are all functional frameworks. What does the lesson suggest about choosing among them?

   1. The most expensive framework provides the best value
   2. Any framework will work equally well for any use case
   3. Selection should be based on specific problem characteristics and constraints
   4. Developers should always choose the first framework they learn

10. Which input is explicitly listed in the lesson as required for selecting an agent orchestration framework?

    1. The number of available tutorial videos
    2. The team's favorite programming language
    3. The specific agent use case
    4. The framework's licensing cost

11. What distinguishes a well-designed test workload from a poor one when evaluating agent frameworks?

    1. Whether the workload includes artificial stress tests
    2. Whether the workload resembles actual production tasks
    3. Whether the workload uses the framework's example code
    4. Whether the workload completes in under one minute

12. A team evaluates two frameworks: one with excellent error handling but poor observability, and one with excellent observability but basic error handling. Which factor should likely determine their choice?

    1. The color scheme of each framework's documentation
    2. The number of contributors to each framework's open source project
    3. The team's personal preference for error messages
    4. Whether the project has strict debugging requirements in production

13. What does the lesson identify as a key dimension of operational maturity in agent frameworks?

    1. The number of programming languages supported
    2. State management, error handling, and observability
    3. The year the framework was originally released
    4. Social media popularity and community size

14. Why might a team choose a custom orchestration solution instead of LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, or Swarm?

    1. When existing team expertise strongly favors building from scratch
    2. Custom solutions are always more reliable than established frameworks
    3. When the team wants to avoid any operational considerations
    4. Because the lesson recommends avoiding all existing frameworks

15. What is the relationship between agent use case and framework selection, as described in the lesson?

    1. Use case matters only for very small projects, not enterprise deployments
    2. The use case is the primary input that shapes all other evaluation criteria
    3. Frameworks should be selected before defining the use case
    4. Use case is irrelevant to framework selection
