AXS-C01 Online Practice Questions and Answers

An Alexa Skill Builder is trying to enable a skill in the developer console. The skill model builds without errors, but the Builder is unable to turn on testing.

What could be causing this?

A. The skill's slot types are invalid.

B. The skill does not have an example phrase

C. The skill does not have an invocation name

D. The skill does not have an endpoint

An Alexa Skill Builder submitted a child-directed skill for certification that lists the nearest skateboard parks. The Builder ensured that

The skill does not link to an external account The skill stored the child's preference by userId The skill has a valid privacy policy link in the skill Distribution page

Given this information, why will the skill fail certification?

A. The Builder did not upload a privacy policy document

B. Child-directed skills cannot use location information

C. The child's userId cannot be used because of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) restrictions.

D. The skill should not be child-directed as it can be used by children over 13 years old.

An Amazon Alexa skill fetches data for users from a third-party API and the wait for the response from that call is variable, often taking up to 5 seconds.

What is the recommended method for notifying users that a skill is working on the request and has not failed to respond?

A. Prefetch the data that is expected to the required by the skill from the third-party API using Amazon CloudWatch Events.

B. Call the Progressive Response API and send a directive, such as VoicePlayer.Speak

C. Ask a follow-up question for clarification to engage the user while waiting for the initially requested response.

D. Respond to the user stating that the data will be ready soon, and upon the next launch of the skill, provide the user with the response they initially requested.

An Alexa Skill Builder needs to have knowledge of the previous prompt that was presented to the user in order to give context to the user's response.

How can the Builder accomplish this?

A. Find the corresponding prompt using the list events feature

B. Store a reference to the prompt used as a session attribute

C. Call the Intent Request History API to identify which prompt was used.

D. Parse the context object from the skill request.

An Alexa Skill Builder is troubleshooting issues with a custom skill backed by an AWS Lambda function that integrates with an external API controlling a light bulb. The Builder observes that when saying "Alexa, turn on the light" the response is "light is not responding" and 10 seconds later, the light turns on.

What is the MOST likely cause for this issue and how can it be solved?

A. The Lambda function is not executing fast enough. Double the currently specified Lambda memory allocation in the Lambda basic settings section.

B. The default Lambda function timeout setting is too short and the Lambda function times out before the response from the external API can be processed and a reply can be sent back to Amazon Alexa. Increase the Lambda timeout limit.

C. There are too many concurrent Lambda functions running, causing the existing Lambda function to block and then time out before a response can be returned to Amazon Alexa. Increase the Lambda function reserve concurrency value to 30, then verify that the function can complete its work within 10 seconds.

D. There is a bug in the Lambda function code preventing the external API from being called. Enable Lambda debugging and error handling and check Amazon CloudWatch Logs for the error, then modify the code accordingly.

An Alexa Skill Builder built a skill using AWS Lambda. The Lambda function works when running the code on a local machine with a runtime of 4.5 seconds, but during skill testing, the Builder receives an error

response.

Which collection of steps will address the issue? (Choose two.)

A. Change the Amazon Alexa default timeout to 5 seconds.

B. Change the default timeout of the Lambda function to 5 seconds.

C. Call the Progressive Response API and send a directive to reduce latency.

D. Increase the size of the memory allocated to the Lambda function.

E. Clone the Lambda function to another AWS Region.

An Alexa Skill Builder is developing a complex skill to help users purchase items. The Builder has implemented the default AMAZON.HelpIntent, but when users ask for help they always reach the same unhelpful result.

How should the Builder enhance the experience to guide the users toward the end goal?

A. Check the state of the user conversation when AMAZON.HelpIntent is received to give contextual responses.

B. Implement AMAZON.FallbackIntent to give a response when an utterance is not understood.

C. Extend the default AMAZON.HelpIntent with more sample utterances.

D. Implement a custom intent users can request when they need help.

An Alexa Skill Builder wants to implement in-skill purchasing to offer one-time purchases for access to premium content. The Builder created an entitlement product and deployed it successfully using the ASK CLI tool. When testing the custom BuyInskillProductIntent in the developer console, the Builder receives the following error:

Sorry, this product is not available with your current language setting.

How can this error be fixed?

A. Change the release date and redeploy the product

B. Change the locale in the Alexa Simulator tab in the developer console

C. Change the AWS Lambda function to include the correct locale in the Connections.SendRequest

directive

D. Change the language in the premium content

An Alexa Skill Builder is designing a skill with an intent that needs six slots to be filled. It is unlikely that a user will provide all the slot values in a single utterance, so the slot fulfillment should be split up into a multi-turn conversation.

What can the Builder do in the developer console to have Amazon Alexa elicit any missing slots, without specifying each of the slots in the backend code?

A. Keep track of what slots are filled in session attributes, and in the backend code, prompt the user for the missing slots using Dialog.ElicitSlot.

B. Mark those six slots are required, fill in the necessary prompts, and in the backend code, use the Dialog.Delegate directive until all slots are filled.

C. Mark those six slots are required, fill in the necessary prompts, and in the backend code, use the Dialog.ConfirmSlot directive until all slots are filled

D. Mark those six slots are required, fill in the necessary prompts, and in the backend code, use the Dialog.ElicitSlot directive until all slots are filled.

An Alexa Skill Builder wants to customize a welcome back message for each person who uses the skill.

The JSON input is shown below:

Which element from the request would the Builder use to accomplish this?

A. sessionId

B. userId

C. requestId

D. applicationId
