How to Understand Confusing Documents in Plain Language with AI Quiz

Answers and explanations appear as you take the quiz.

1. Why does the guide recommend asking the AI to quote the exact sentence and section number behind each answer?
   • So you can find and verify it in the original document
   • Because AI tools cannot answer without quoting
   • To make the summary longer and more formal
   • So the document becomes legally binding
2. What did the 2023 'Lost in the Middle' research find?
   • Models cannot read documents longer than one page
   • AI summaries are always more accurate than human ones
   • Language models are often worse at using information in the middle of long inputs than at the beginning or end
   • Readers ignore the middle sections of leases
3. According to the guide, what often determines whether a lease clause is enforceable?
   • How confidently the AI explains it
   • The length of the lease
   • Whether the lease was uploaded as a PDF
   • State or local rules
4. To whom does HIPAA generally apply, according to the guide?
   • Any app that handles health information
   • Healthcare providers, health plans and their business associates, not a consumer chatbot you choose to use
   • Only government hospitals
   • Every website that displays medical terms
5. What does a scanned image or phone photo of a document require before a model can read the text?
   • A password-protected PDF
   • A longer context window
   • A human transcription service
   • Optical character recognition or a vision model
6. What risk comes with tools that split long files into chunks and retrieve only the relevant passages?
   • An answer can miss a clause that was never retrieved
   • The document will be permanently altered
   • The AI will refuse to answer follow-up questions
   • The file will be shared publicly
7. What is the purpose of asking 'negative questions' such as 'list every deadline, fee and penalty'?
   • To make the AI more polite
   • To reduce the length of the response
   • To push the model to scan the whole document instead of summarizing
   • To get the AI to give legal advice
8. When does the guide say you should check with a professional or the issuing agency?
   • Whenever the document is longer than five pages
   • When money, housing, benefits, immigration status or a legal deadline is at stake
   • Only if the AI refuses to answer
   • Never, as long as the AI quotes section numbers
