  1. A kitchen knife listing is full of reviews about a phone case. What is this pattern called?
    • Incentivized reviewing
    • Review suppression
    • Verified purchasing
    • Review hijacking
  2. Why does the guide say patterns across many reviews are more reliable than judging one review?
    • Platforms delete every fake review within a day
    • AI can write fluent, specific-sounding text, so single reviews are hard to judge
    • Individual reviews are always genuine
    • Only the first review on a listing matters
  3. Which rating distribution does the guide treat as a warning sign?
    • Almost only five-star and one-star reviews, with little in between
    • A mix of ratings concentrated around four stars
    • Reviews spread evenly over several years
    • Mostly three-star reviews with detailed text
  4. Which star level does the guide say is often most informative when using AI to summarize real feedback?
    • Five-star
    • One-star
    • Three-star
    • Unrated reviews
  5. What does the guide say about using AI text detectors to prove a review was machine-written?
    • They are required by the FTC rule
    • They are the most reliable single signal
    • They only work on five-star reviews
    • They are unreliable and flag human writing as AI
  6. Why doesn't an AI-generated summary of reviews automatically filter out fakes?
    • It summarizes whatever reviews it is given, fakes included
    • It only reads verified purchases
    • It deletes suspicious reviews before summarizing
    • It is written by the seller
  7. How does the guide describe reviews from a disclosed program like Amazon Vine?
    • Fake reviews that break the FTC rule
    • Reviews written by AI
    • Not fake, since they are labeled, but they may lean positive
    • Always negative, to seem balanced
  8. According to the guide, how do platforms mainly detect fake reviews?
    • By reading each review for spelling errors
    • Through behavior and metadata such as account history, timing bursts and device overlaps
    • By asking reviewers to confirm by email
    • By removing all five-star reviews
