Refer to the exhibit. You are calling the Azure AI Language API for extractive summarization. What will be the output of this request?

⚠ Common exam trap

Microsoft often tests the misconception that extractive summarization returns sentences sorted by confidence score, when in fact the default behavior preserves the original document order unless the `sortBy` parameter is explicitly set to `'Rank'`.

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

The three sentences in the order they appear in the document.

The Azure AI Language API for extractive summarization returns the most relevant sentences from the original document in the order they appear, not reordered by score. The API extracts sentences based on a ranker, but the output preserves the original sentence sequence to maintain readability and context. Option D is correct because the default behavior is to return the extracted sentences in their original order.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

Only the first sentence because the document is short.
Why it's wrong here
The API returns up to sentenceCount sentences.
✗
An abstractive summary generated from the text.
Why it's wrong here
This is extractive summarization, not abstractive.
✗
The three sentences ranked by confidence score.
Why it's wrong here
sortBy: Offset does not rank by confidence.
✓
The three sentences in the order they appear in the document.
