Question 3
An Alexa Skill Builder is developing a skill containing a multi-turn dialog that can be invoked with or without a specific intent

Answer:
A

Question 4
An Alexa Skill Builder is building an interactive storytelling skill where the user can choose their own path through the story.
The Builder wants Amazon Alexa to narrate the story and use custom audio for the dialogue for each character, along with
various sound effects.
How can these requirements be met?
- A. Record custom audio for each segment of the story, then stream audio files stored on Amazon S3 using the AudioPlayer interface for each segment of the story.

Question 6
Before beginning the development of a skill, an Alexa Skill Builder wants to hear how a statement will be pronounced by
Amazon Alexa in another locale.
How should the Builder test the pronounciation of the statement?
- A. Use the Alexa Simulator tab in the developer console to interact with the skill using the selected locale.
- B. Create a developer account for the specific locale, and use a device to interact with the skill.
- C. Use Voice & Tone tab in the developer console to play the statement using the selected locale.
- D. Use the Manual JSON tab in the developer console to create a sample JSON response
Answer:
C

Question 7
An Alexa Skill Builder would like to improve a skills help experience. To do this, the Builder plans to leverage the users
activity leading up to the help request to contextualize the help response.
Where should the skill obtain the necessary context?
- A. Load the users recent activity from the Intent Request History API, then use this to provide context to the AMAZON.HelpIntent request.
- B. Retrieve the recent activity from the context object passed with the AMAZON.HelpIntent request.
- C. Use a session attribute to store the intent name for each request, then use this to provide context to the AMAZON.HelpIntent request.
- D. Retrieve the recent activity from the slot values passed with the AMAZON.HelpIntent request.

Question 8
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
Answer:
A
Question 9
During testing of a new Amazon Alexa skill, the skill is repeatedly failing and invoking the function defined in the
addErrorHandler method specified on the SkillBuilder object. Upon inspection of Amazon CloudWatch Logs, the Alexa Skill
Builder establishes that the failure is occurring whenever AMAZON.HelpIntent is being received.
How should this error be corrected?
- A. AMAZON.HelpIntent should be handled by the SDK. The Builder should raise a support ticket with Amazon.
- B. The Builder should ensure that the intent handler is coded so that it tests for AMAZON.HelpIntent in its canHandle method, and when detected, returns true.
- C. The Builder should add logic to provide help instructions to the function defined in the addErrorHandler method specified on the SkillBuilder object.
- D. The Builder should add an AMAZON.HelpIntent entry to the interaction model to ensure the request for help is recognized by the skill.
Answer:
B
Question 10
An Alexa Skill Builder receives feedback from users that a specific utterance causes Amazon Alexa to trigger the skills
AMAZON.HelpIntent rather than triggering the correct intent and slot.
How can the Builder reproduce this behavior to troubleshoot the problem?
- A. Use the AWS Lambda test feature to send a request with the given intent and slot combination.
- B. Set up a unit test in the code base to simulate what happens when the given intent and slot combination are dispatched within the skill.
- C. Use the Manual JSON tab on the Test page of the developer console to see what happens when a request for the given intent and slot combination is sent to the skill
- D. Use the Alexa Simulator tab on the Test page of the developer console to test the utterances the users have reported.
Answer:
B

Question 12
An Alexa Skill Builder has built a new custom skill backed by an AWS Lambda function. The Lambda function executes
successfully from the Lambda console, however, the Lambda function cannot be successfully invoked in the developer
console or from an Amazon Alexa enabled device. No error messages show in the functions Amazon CloudWatch Logs.
The Builder confirmed the endpoint has the correct ARN.

Question 13
An Alexa Skill Builder implemented the built-in intent AMAZON.HelpIntent. In some cases, users are asking for help using
phrases that are specific to a skills terminology. Amazon Alexa does not understand these phrases are help requests, and
they are not being routed to AMAZON.HelpIntent.
According to best practices, how can this situation be corrected?
- A. Create custom intents using the help utterances that are specific to the skill, and remove AMAZON.HelpIntent.
