AI-900 Practice Question: 'abstractive summarisation' and how does it…

This AI-900 practice question tests your understanding of 'abstractive summarisation' and how does it…. 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.

What is 'abstractive summarisation' and how does it differ from 'extractive summarisation'?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.

A

Distractor review

Extractive summarisation uses generative AI; abstractive uses keyword ranking

This is backwards — extractive uses keyword/sentence ranking to select sentences; abstractive uses generative models to write new text.

B

Distractor review

Abstractive summarisation is only available for non-English languages

Language support depends on the service — both extractive and abstractive are available in Azure AI Language for multiple languages.

C

Best answer

Extractive selects key sentences verbatim; abstractive generates new sentences capturing the meaning

Extractive = copy important sentences; abstractive = write new sentences — abstractive requires deeper language understanding.

D

Distractor review

Extractive writes shorter summaries; abstractive writes longer ones

Summary length is a configurable parameter — the distinction is whether sentences are copied from the original or newly generated.

Common exam trap

Common exam trap: NAT rules depend on direction and matching traffic

NAT is not only about the public address. The inside/outside interface roles and the ACL or rule that matches traffic are just as important.

Technical deep dive

How to think about this question

NAT questions usually test address translation, overload/PAT behaviour, static mappings and whether the right traffic is being translated. Read the interface direction and address terms carefully.

KKey Concepts to Remember

  • Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.
  • PAT allows many inside hosts to share one public address using ports.
  • Inside local and inside global describe the private and translated addresses.
  • NAT ACLs identify traffic for translation, not always security filtering.

TExam Day Tips

  • Identify inside and outside interfaces first.
  • Check whether the scenario needs static NAT, dynamic NAT or PAT.
  • Do not confuse NAT matching ACLs with normal packet-filtering intent.

Key takeaway

NAT direction and interface roles matter as much as the IP address mapping. Inside/outside designation controls which traffic is translated.

Question 1

A developer wants to build a virtual assistant that can understand user intents such as 'Book a flight' or 'Check weather' and extract relevant entities like destination and date. The developer has a small set of labeled example utterances. Which Azure AI Language feature should the developer use?

Question 2

A developer is building a customer support chatbot using Azure OpenAI. The chatbot should never reveal its system instructions or internal configuration. The developer wants to add a rule at the beginning of the conversation to prevent prompt injection attacks. Which technique should they use?

Question 3

A developer is using Azure OpenAI Service to generate product descriptions from technical specifications. The generated descriptions sometimes include plausible-sounding but incorrect details (hallucinations). The developer wants to ensure the model's responses are strictly based on the provided product data and does not add any external or invented information. Which approach should the developer use?

Question 4

A developer is using Azure OpenAI with GPT-4 to build a chatbot that answers legal questions based on a company's internal policy documents. The developer wants the model's responses to be maximally deterministic and factual, avoiding any creative or speculative language. Which parameter should the developer set to the lowest possible value in the API call?

Question 5

A developer is using Azure OpenAI to generate creative product descriptions. The outputs are often repetitive and lack variety. The developer wants to increase the diversity of the generated text while still keeping it coherent. Which parameter should the developer increase?

Question 6

A developer is using Azure OpenAI Service to generate product descriptions. They want the output to be highly focused and deterministic, with less randomness. Which parameter should they decrease?

FAQ

Questions learners often ask

What does this AI-900 question test?

Static NAT maps one inside address to one outside address.

What is the correct answer to this question?

The correct answer is: Extractive selects key sentences verbatim; abstractive generates new sentences capturing the meaning — Extractive summarisation selects and concatenates the most important sentences from the original text verbatim — the summary is a subset of original sentences. Abstractive summarisation generates new sentences that capture the meaning — the summary may contain words and phrasing not in the original. Azure AI Language's document summarisation supports both: extractive (returns key sentences) and abstractive (generates new summary text).

What should I do if I get this AI-900 question wrong?

Review the four NAT address types (inside local, inside global, outside local, outside global), PAT port overload, and static vs dynamic NAT use cases. Then practise related AI-900 NAT questions on configuration and troubleshooting.
