The correct answer is to create a project and deploy the model to an Azure AI Language resource. These two actions are required because deploying a custom question answering solution in Azure AI Language involves first defining a project to structure your knowledge base, then deploying that trained model to a production endpoint so it can serve live queries. On the Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate AI-102 exam, this scenario tests your understanding of the Custom Question Answering feature, which replaced the deprecated QnA Maker service—a common trap is confusing the old service with the new one. Remember that training data is automatically processed when you create the project, and publishing to a web app bot is optional, not mandatory. A helpful memory tip: “Project first, deploy to serve—no bot required, just the resource curve.”
AI-102 Practice Question: Implement natural language processing solutions
This AI-102 practice question tests your understanding of implement natural language processing solutions. Match the stated requirement to the specific cloud service, access model, or configuration option — many options are valid in isolation but not for this scenario. 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.
You are building a custom question answering solution using Azure AI Language. Which TWO actions are required to deploy the solution?
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create a Custom Question Answering project in Azure AI Language.
Options B and D are correct because you need to create a project and deploy the model for production use. Option A is wrong because the QnA Maker service is deprecated; Azure AI Language uses the Custom Question Answering feature. Option C is wrong because training data can be provided in multiple formats and the model is trained automatically. Option E is wrong because publishing to a web app bot is optional.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Common exam traps
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
Detailed technical explanation
How to think about this question
This question should be treated as a scenario, not a definition check. Identify the problem, the constraint and the best action. Then compare each option against those facts.
KKey Concepts to Remember
Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.
Find the constraint that changes the correct option.
Eliminate answers that are true in general but not in this case.
Use explanations to understand the rule behind the answer.
TExam Day Tips
→Underline the problem statement mentally.
→Watch for words such as best, first, most likely and least administrative effort.
→Review why wrong options are wrong, not only why the correct option is correct.
Key takeaway
Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.
Real-world example
How this comes up in practice
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.
