- A
Apply a frequency penalty to discourage repetition of offensive phrases
Frequency penalty reduces token repetition, which can help if offensive language appears repeatedly.
- B
Increase temperature to 0.9 to dilute the offending outputs
Why wrong: Higher temperature increases randomness and may produce more unpredictable (and possibly offensive) language.
- C
Test the prompt with diverse inputs including adversarial examples
Testing with edge cases helps identify and fix vulnerabilities.
- D
Add a constraint in the system prompt: 'Do not use offensive or inappropriate language.'
Explicit constraints directly guide the model's behavior.
- E
Remove the system prompt to avoid overriding model's safety training
Why wrong: Removing the system prompt removes a layer of control and may make the problem worse.
1Z0-1127 Prompt Engineering Practice Question
This 1Z0-1127 practice question tests your understanding of prompt engineering. The scenario asks you to isolate a root cause — eliminate options that address a different problem before choosing. 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.
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.
Key principle: Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option.

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 practitioner preparing for the 1Z0-1127 exam encounters this exact type of scenario on the job. The correct answer here is not the most general option — it is the best answer for the specific constraint described. Answer the scenario, not the keyword: identify the specific constraint before choosing the most familiar-sounding option. Real exam questions reward reading the full scenario before eliminating options, because the constraint defines which answer fits.
