1. What is the main idea of "LangGraph vs Custom Orchestration: When Frameworks Help and When They Hurt"?

   1. Agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI) accelerate prototypes and constrain production.
   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 "LangGraph vs Custom Orchestration: When Frameworks Help and When They Hurt"?

   1. LangGraph
   2. agent framework
   3. orchestration
   4. framework lock-in

3. Which use of AI fits this topic best?

   1. Avoid framework decision (you'll pick one even if implicitly)
   2. Let the AI decide what matters without your review
   3. Use frameworks for early prototyping and learning agent patterns
   4. Use the answer before checking whether it fits the situation

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

   1. Use frameworks for early prototyping and learning agent patterns
   2. Explain the topic in plain language
   3. Organize a draft for human review
   4. Avoid framework decision (you'll pick one even if implicitly)

5. What should a careful learner remember about "Framework decision matrix"?

   1. Use AI to draft or organize ideas about agent framework, 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 agent framework 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 agent framework.

9. Which action would help you apply "LangGraph vs Custom Orchestration: When Frameworks Help and When They Hurt" responsibly?

   1. Get framework benefits without framework constraints
   2. Use the tool to avoid thinking through the tradeoff
   3. Keep going even if the output conflicts with a trusted source
   4. Evaluate framework escape hatches before committing in production

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

    1. Get framework benefits without framework constraints
    2. Use frameworks for early prototyping and learning agent patterns
    3. Ask for a plain-language explanation of LangGraph
    4. Compare the answer with a trusted source
