1. When you use an AI tool to convert a UI screenshot into code, what quality level should you generally expect from the initial output?

   1. A rough draft that captures approximately 70% of the design, requiring significant refinement
   2. A pixel-perfect replica that exactly matches the original screenshot
   3. A fully polished, production-ready component with zero modifications needed
   4. A template that works immediately but lacks any actual styling

2. Which of the following is something AI image-to-code tools typically handle well when converting a screenshot?

   1. Generating complex hover and focus state animations
   2. Creating accessible keyboard navigation patterns
   3. Capturing exact pixel measurements for every margin and padding
   4. Reproducing the overall layout structure and component organization

3. A developer wants to convert a design screenshot into a Vue application with custom CSS. What should they include in their prompt to the AI tool?

   1. A detailed paragraph explaining the history of web development
   2. A request to delete all semantic HTML elements
   3. The specific framework and styling approach they want (e.g., 'Convert to Vue with custom CSS')
   4. A demand for pixel-perfect font matching without any compromises

4. A student generates a navigation bar using AI screenshot-to-code and tests it with a keyboard only. They notice they cannot tab through the links properly. What is likely missing from the AI output?

   1. Proper CSS flexbox layout
   2. Google Fonts imports
   3. Tailwind utility classes
   4. ARIA attributes and focus management

5. Why might a developer ask AI to mark areas with TODO comments when converting a screenshot?

   1. To make the code longer and more impressive to employers
   2. To automatically fix all errors in the generated code
   3. To identify parts of the design the AI had to guess at due to ambiguity in the screenshot
   4. To prevent the code from running until reviewed

6. When prompting an AI to convert a screenshot to code, what does requesting 'semantic HTML' typically mean?

   1. Removing all CSS classes for cleaner code
   2. Using meaningful HTML elements like <nav>, <article>, and <button> instead of generic <div> tags
   3. Adding extra <span> elements for styling purposes
   4. Making the code as short as possible using abbreviations

7. A developer tests their AI-generated component on a phone and sees that elements are cut off and unreadable. What should they check was included in the AI prompt?

   1. A demand for fixed-width containers
   2. A request to remove all images
   3. An instruction to use only absolute positioning
   4. Responsive breakpoints for different screen sizes

8. What is the term for the AI capability that allows it to 'see' a design mockup and produce code from it?

   1. Text-to-code generation
   2. Optical character recognition
   3. Semantic parsing
   4. Vision-to-code processing

9. When AI converts a screenshot, how does it typically handle naming components like buttons, cards, or sections?

   1. It leaves all elements unnamed and requires manual naming
   2. It uses the exact text content found in the screenshot as component names
   3. It assigns random alphanumeric IDs to every element
   4. It picks reasonable component names based on visual context and common patterns

10. How accurately does AI typically match colors and spacing from a design screenshot?

    1. Completely ignores colors and spacing information
    2. Only matches spacing, ignoring colors entirely
    3. Approximates colors and spacing reasonably well but not precisely
    4. Exactly matches every color and spacing value

11. After generating a button with AI screenshot-to-code, a developer notices the button has no visual change when hovered. What is the most likely cause?

    1. The AI generated fixed styles without interactive state variants
    2. The screenshot did not show a hover state, so AI could not generate one
    3. The AI tool is broken and failed to generate any CSS
    4. The developer forgot to import the CSS file

12. A screen reader user cannot understand the purpose of an AI-generated icon button. What should have been added manually after the AI conversion?

    1. A brighter color for the icon
    2. A border around the button
    3. Proper ARIA labels and alternative text
    4. A CSS animation

13. A designer describes the output of AI screenshot-to-code as a '70% draft.' What does this metaphor primarily indicate?

    1. The design will look correct on 70% of devices
    2. The code covers most of the design but needs human refinement
    3. The code will delete itself after 70% of the page loads
    4. The AI will complete exactly 70% of the coding task before stopping

14. Why is manually adding accessibility features after AI code generation considered a necessary step?

    1. Because browsers automatically handle all accessibility needs
    2. Because accessibility is optional for most websites
    3. Because accessibility makes the code slower
    4. Because AI vision tools cannot perceive accessibility requirements from static images

15. What fundamental property of screenshots limits what AI can extract from them?

    1. Screenshots contain hidden metadata that misleads AI
    2. Screenshots are too small for AI to process accurately
    3. Screenshots are static images that cannot convey interaction, animation, or intent
    4. Screenshots are animated files that confuse AI models
