1. What is the main benefit of asking AI for small pieces of code instead of one huge request?

   1. AI can only understand short sentences
   2. Small code runs faster on computers
   3. You can test each piece before adding more code
   4. Big requests confuse the AI

2. You want to build a button that counts clicks and saves the number when you reload. What should be your FIRST tiny step?

   1. Ask AI to save the count when you reload
   2. Ask AI to count every click automatically
   3. Ask AI to create a button on the page
   4. Ask AI to make the button colorful

3. Why does building in tiny steps usually result in less buggy code?

   1. You can find and fix problems in each small piece right away
   2. AI makes fewer mistakes when it writes less code
   3. Small pieces of code never have bugs
   4. Big code is harder for computers to run

4. What does the term incremental mean when talking about AI coding?

   1. Making code that changes by itself
   2. Writing code very quickly
   3. Building something step by step, one piece at a time
   4. Creating very large programs

5. Which approach is most likely to give you messy, buggy code?

   1. Asking AI to build a whole app with all features at once
   2. Testing code after each small step
   3. Asking AI for one feature, testing it, then asking for the next
   4. Breaking your project into tiny testable pieces

6. After you get a working button from AI, what should you do next in the tiny steps method?

   1. Ask AI to rebuild the whole thing
   2. Test that the button works correctly
   3. Add every feature you can think of at once
   4. Delete the button and start over

7. A friend asks AI to build a whole video game in one prompt and gets a broken mess of code. What went wrong?

   1. AI cannot build video games
   2. The ask was too big for AI to handle correctly
   3. AI always writes broken code
   4. The friend should have asked for a text game instead

8. You asked AI for a button and it worked. Now you want the button to count clicks. What do you do?

   1. Ask AI to delete the button first
   2. Ask AI to add click-counting to the existing button
   3. Ask AI to build a whole new clicker app
   4. Ask AI to make the button disappear when clicked

9. What makes tiny steps easier to test than one big ask?

   1. Small code is shorter to read
   2. Each small piece has a clear job you can check
   3. AI cannot test big code
   4. Big code takes too long to write

10. If you ask AI for 10 features all at once, what will probably happen?

    1. The AI will refuse to help
    2. The features won't work well together and will have bugs
    3. The code will be perfect because AI is smart
    4. You will get 10 separate files

11. What should you always do after AI gives you code in a tiny step?

    1. Ask AI to explain every single line
    2. Add more features without testing
    3. Throw it away and ask for something else
    4. Test it to make sure it works

12. Which statement about tiny steps is TRUE?

    1. Building tiny steps lets you find bugs one at a time
    2. Tiny steps mean you have to write more code overall
    3. AI cannot do tiny steps
    4. Tiny steps only work for simple websites

13. A classmate says they got bad code from AI because the AI is stupid. What's a better explanation?

    1. The computer was turned off
    2. The ask was probably too big and complicated
    3. The AI was having a bad day
    4. The AI doesn't like that person

14. What is the key idea behind building code with AI in tiny steps?

    1. Ask AI to do everything at once
    2. Ask for a little, test it, then ask for more
    3. Write the code yourself without AI
    4. Only use AI for very small tasks

15. You want to build a todo list app. Using tiny steps, what might your first ask to AI be?

    1. Make an app that saves tasks, sorts them, marks them done, and sends reminders
    2. Create the whole app with all features at once
    3. Make the app look beautiful with colors
    4. Create a text box where I can type a task
