Gemini Decision 1 Scores Supplied Answers

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

  1. Before reading · 2 minutes

    Show the title. Ask: “What do you think this story is about?”

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  1. What is the stated question limit per request?

    Correct answer: A — Up to 1,000

    Why: The second paragraph describes an upper limit, not a fixed required number.

    Clue in the story: A request can contain up to 1,000 questions about shared input. Google says the input can include text, images, audio, video and PDFs.

  2. Which contrast defines the model’s response?

    Correct answer: C — Supplied choices versus free-form writing

    Why: The first paragraph says it evaluates supplied choices rather than generating a free-form written response.

    Clue in the story: Google’s new Gemini Decisions API uses the Gemini Decision 1 model. It evaluates supplied choices rather than generating a free-form written response.

The open question: accept different answers

Ask learners: Describe the request limit and one supported non-text input.

One possible answer: A request can contain no more than 1,000 questions about shared input. Google says that input can include images, audio, video or PDFs as well as text.

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.

Grammar to discuss

An upper bound

up to 1,000 questions

Up to sets the maximum. It does not mean every request must contain 1,000 questions.
