Worked practice questions

What does the system prompt do in a Claude call?

  1. It runs once at the start; sets rules for the whole call
  2. It overwrites every user message on the fly
  3. It is sent with each user turn fresh
  4. It is ignored if the user is talkative
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. It runs once at the start; sets rules for the whole call

The system prompt is read once at the start of a session and sets the role, tone, and rules Claude applies for the rest of the call.

  1. 1.0
  2. 0.0
  3. 0.5

Where should the role description live in a prompt?

  1. Right after the task description, as a postscript
  2. Only inside the user message, never the system
  3. Before the task, as the first thing Claude reads
  4. It does not matter where it lands in the prompt
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Before the task, as the first thing Claude reads

Claude reads top-down placing the role first primes the response style for everything that follows.
