How to use these two pages

Give learners the student worksheet. It contains the story and questions, without the answers. Keep this guide for yourself. Use it to lead the activity and explain the answers afterwards.

Student worksheet

A simple 15–20-minute lesson

Before reading · 2 minutes
Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”
Read and answer · 8–10 minutes
Give out the student worksheet. Learners read for the main idea, then reread to answer the 2 questions. They can compare answers with a partner.
Discuss and write · 5–8 minutes
Check the answers below together. Ask learners to point to the clue in the story, then finish with the open question.

Adjust the support: Let learners use word help or Level 1 if needed. For a challenge, compare the wording in another level. This activity is not a proficiency test.

Answers to the 2 questions

The question numbers match the student worksheet. Each answer includes a reason and the clue learners can find in the story.

Who provides possible answers?
Correct answer: B — Developers
Why: The first paragraph says developers give questions and possible answers.
Clue in the story: Google introduced its Gemini Decisions API on November 11. Developers can give it questions and possible answers.
How does the tool produce its result?
Correct answer: A — It scores the options
Why: The second paragraph contrasts option scoring with writing an answer.
Clue in the story: The tool scores those options instead of writing a new answer word by word. It can work with text, pictures, audio, video and PDF files.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Explain what a developer supplies and what the tool does.

One possible answer: A developer supplies questions and possible answers. The tool scores those options and can work with several input types, including text and pictures.

This is an example, not the only correct answer. Look for a relevant idea, a reason and the learner’s own words. Learners can answer aloud or write one or two sentences.
