This PMLE practice question tests your understanding of solving business challenges with ml. Read the scenario carefully and evaluate each option against the stated constraints before committing to an answer. After answering, compare your reasoning against the explanation and wrong-answer breakdown below. Once you have made your selection, read the full explanation to reinforce the concept and understand why each distractor is designed to mislead on exam day.
A company wants to use pre-built Google Cloud APIs for text analysis. Which TWO APIs can they use? (Choose TWO.)
Cloud Natural Language API
For text analysis.
Cloud Translation API
For text translation.
Cloud Vision API
Why wrong: Image analysis.
Video Intelligence API
Why wrong: Video analysis.
Document AI
Why wrong: Document processing.
Answer choices
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
Cloud Natural Language API
The Cloud Natural Language API provides pre-built machine learning models for text analysis tasks such as entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and syntax analysis. The Cloud Translation API can translate text between languages, which is a form of text analysis. Both are pre-built Google Cloud APIs that directly address the company's need for text analysis without requiring custom model training.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Common exam traps
The trap here is that candidates may confuse Document AI with a general text analysis API, but Document AI is specifically for document parsing and OCR, not for core NLP tasks like sentiment or entity extraction, which are the focus of the Cloud Natural Language API.
Detailed technical explanation
The Cloud Natural Language API uses a pre-trained deep learning model based on the Transformer architecture to extract entities, classify content, and analyze sentiment. The Cloud Translation API leverages Neural Machine Translation (NMT) models that use attention mechanisms to translate text. Both APIs are accessed via REST or gRPC endpoints and can be integrated into applications with minimal code, making them ideal for rapid prototyping of text analysis features.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
A cloud solutions architect for a retail company is evaluating services for a new workload. The correct answer here reflects best practice for the specific scenario described — not a general cloud recommendation. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Cloud exam questions reward reading the constraint carefully: the same technology can be right or wrong depending on the use case.
