1Z0-1127-25 Prompt Engineering Practice Question
An AI engineer is designing a prompt that requires the model to solve a complex math problem. They want the model to explore multiple reasoning paths and then aggregate the final answer. Which prompting technique BEST fits this requirement?
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
✓
Self-consistency prompting
Self-consistency generates multiple reasoning paths (e.g., using chain-of-thought) and then takes a majority vote or averages results, which directly matches the need for multiple paths and aggregation.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Self-consistency prompting
Why this is correct
Self-consistency runs chain-of-thought multiple times and aggregates results for improved accuracy.
- ✗
Zero-shot prompting with a direct instruction
Why it's wrong here
Zero-shot produces a single path, not multiple reasoning paths.
- ✗
Tree-of-thought prompting
Why it's wrong here
Tree-of-thought explores branches but does not inherently aggregate multiple final answers; self-consistency does.
- ✗
Few-shot prompting with worked examples
Why it's wrong here
Few-shot shows examples but still yields one answer; doesn't explore multiple paths.
