Question 718 of 988

Quick Answer

The answer is that the SplitSkill outputs are not correctly mapped to the SentimentSkill input, causing the sentiment skill to run only on the first page of each document. This occurs because the SplitSkill breaks each PDF into separate pages, and the SentimentSkill processes each page as an individual item; without proper output-to-input mapping, the sentiment skill defaults to the first page only, leaving the remaining 500 pages unscored. On the Microsoft Azure AI Engineer Associate AI-102 exam, this question tests your understanding of skillset execution flow and the critical role of field mappings in Azure AI Search enrichment pipelines, where a common trap is assuming the indexer automatically passes all split outputs to downstream skills. The search intent "split skill output mapping sentiment" highlights the precise failure point: when the `outputFieldMappings` from the SplitSkill's `pages` to the SentimentSkill's `text` are missing or incorrect, enrichment halts after the first split. Memory tip: think "split first, map every page" — if you don't map the split output, you only get one shot at sentiment.

You are reviewing a skillset definition for an Azure AI Search indexer. The indexer is configured to index 1000 PDF documents. After running the indexer, you notice that only 500 documents have sentiment scores. What is the most likely cause?

Clue words in this question

Noticing these words before you look at the options changes how you read each choice.

  • Clue: "most likely"

    Why it matters: Probability qualifier — the question wants the most probable cause or outcome, not a guaranteed one. Eliminate low-probability options.

Answer choices

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 SplitSkill outputs are not correctly mapped to the SentimentSkill input; the skill runs only on the first page of each document

Option B is correct because the SplitSkill splits the document into pages, and the SentimentSkill runs per page. If the split output is not properly mapped, sentiment only runs on the first page. Option A is wrong because the skill order is correct (split before sentiment). Option C is wrong because the skill version is V3, which is valid. Option D is wrong because the context is correct.

Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

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

  • The skills are defined in the wrong order; sentiment should run before split

    Why it's wrong here

    Sentiment needs text; split must come first.

  • The SentimentSkill is not supported in this region

    Why it's wrong here

    SentimentSkill is available globally.

  • The SplitSkill outputs are not correctly mapped to the SentimentSkill input; the skill runs only on the first page of each document

    Why this is correct

    The context "/document/pages/*" should iterate over pages, but if split output is only one item, it only processes one page.

    Clue confirmation

    The clue word "most likely" in the question point toward this answer.

    Related concept

    Read the scenario before looking for a memorised answer.

  • The context of the SentimentSkill should be "/document" instead of "/document/pages/*"

    Why it's wrong here

    Context "/document/pages/*" is correct for per-page sentiment.

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.
