   • To make the chatbot's replies shorter
2. Which part of a good Socratic prompt says something like 'I understand moles but not limiting reagents'?
   • The role and rule
   • The process
   • Your level
   • The feedback style

4. Why does the language-learning example ask the model to flag mistakes without fixing them?

   • That they only work for math
   • That they need a paid subscription to exist
   • That they were invented by schools
8. Which technique does the guide say makes hints more accurate?
   • Asking the model to use simpler vocabulary
   • Asking the model to answer in bullet points
