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
✓
Only task instruction: 'Write a poem'
Providing only a task instruction ('Write a poem') without specifying the rhyme scheme or giving examples leaves the model to choose its own structure. The other options give explicit formatting or examples.
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 task instruction: 'Write a poem'
Why this is correct
Without specifying the rhyme scheme or providing examples, the model will likely default to free verse or a common pattern, not ABAB.
- ✗
Task instruction: 'Write a poem' and output format specification: 'Use ABAB rhyme scheme'
Why it's wrong here
The output format specification explicitly states the rhyme scheme, so the model is likely to follow it.
- ✗
Task instruction: 'Write a poem in ABAB rhyme scheme' and an example stanza
Why it's wrong here
This combination clearly specifies the rhyme scheme and provides an example, making it very likely to succeed.
- ✗
Task instruction: 'Write a poem' with a few-shot example of an ABAB poem
Why it's wrong here
The few-shot example demonstrates the desired rhyme scheme, which is effective.
