Question #6 (Topic: Exam A)
You are selecting a pattern for a compliance Q&A assistant that must answer policy questions with citations to the authoritative internal source set. Latency, cost, and audit predictability are prioritized.
Which pattern is the best fit?
Which pattern is the best fit?
A. multi-agent orchestration with a planner, researcher, and writer agent for every query
B. a static prompt with the entire policy corpus concatenated into every request
C. augmented LLM with retrieval-augmented generation over the indexed authoritative corpus and citation rendering on each answer
D. a pure agent loop with open web-browsing tools to surface the most current policy information, without constraining retrieval to the authoritative internal corpus
Answer: C
Question #7 (Topic: Exam A)
You are a solution architect designing a Claude-based assistant with access to 60 internal tools across multiple business domains. Loading every tool definition on every request increases token usage and time to first response.
Which design pattern best addresses this issue without sacrificing capability breadth?
Which design pattern best addresses this issue without sacrificing capability breadth?
A. Use a separate model call to summarize all 60 tool definitions before each user turn.
B. Apply progressive tool discovery so a curated initial subset is exposed and additional tools are loaded on demand based on the task.
C. Hard-code a fixed set of five tools per request to reduce token usage, regardless of whether those tools are relevant to the current task.
D. Increase the maximum context length and load all 60 tool definitions on every request, accepting the higher token cost and latency as necessary for full capability.
Answer: B
Question #8 (Topic: Exam A)
HOTSPOT
You are sequencing decomposed components in an invoice-processing pipeline.
For each of the decomposed components, select the execution layer it belongs to: “Pre-Processing”, “Model Stage”, or “Post-Processing”.

Question #9 (Topic: Exam A)
You are reviewing a customer-support agent’s configuration. Each candidate tool falls into one of four categories:
(1) required to complete defined tasks
(2) frequently used and reduces hand-offs
(3) occasionally useful for unrelated work
(4) speculative future utility
Which categories should typically remain in the agent configuration?
(1) required to complete defined tasks
(2) frequently used and reduces hand-offs
(3) occasionally useful for unrelated work
(4) speculative future utility
Which categories should typically remain in the agent configuration?
A. Only category 3, because occasionally useful tools for unrelated work provide broader coverage and should take priority over tools required for the agent’s defined tasks.
B. Categories 1 and 2 only, because they map to defined tasks and the agent’s regular hand-offs.
C. All four categories, because broader tool access is categorically better for agent performance regardless of whether the tools map to defined tasks or regular hand-offs.
D. Only category 4, because speculative future-utility tools provide the most flexibility and should be configured even when no defined task currently requires them.
Answer: B
Question #10 (Topic: Exam A)
HOTSPOT
You are classifying token-management tactics by where in the request lifecycle each tactic applies.
For each of the tactics, select where in the request lifecycle each tactic applies: “Input Preparation”, “Prompt Construction”, or “Output Handling”.
