1Z0-1127-25 Prompt Engineering Practice Question
An OCI user is troubleshooting a prompt that sometimes produces outputs containing offensive language. The prompt uses a system prompt to set a professional tone. Which THREE steps should the user take to mitigate this issue? (Select three.)
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
✓
Apply a frequency penalty to discourage repetition of offensive phrases
Adding explicit constraints in the system prompt, setting frequency/presence penalties to reduce undesirable patterns, and testing with adversarial inputs are effective safeguards. Using high temperature or removing the system prompt would worsen the problem.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Apply a frequency penalty to discourage repetition of offensive phrases
Why this is correct
Frequency penalty reduces token repetition, which can help if offensive language appears repeatedly.
- ✗
Increase temperature to 0.9 to dilute the offending outputs
Why it's wrong here
Higher temperature increases randomness and may produce more unpredictable (and possibly offensive) language.
- ✓
Test the prompt with diverse inputs including adversarial examples
Why this is correct
Testing with edge cases helps identify and fix vulnerabilities.
- ✓
Add a constraint in the system prompt: 'Do not use offensive or inappropriate language.'
Why this is correct
Explicit constraints directly guide the model's behavior.
- ✗
Remove the system prompt to avoid overriding model's safety training
Why it's wrong here
Removing the system prompt removes a layer of control and may make the problem worse.
