Microsoft GH-300 Practice Test 31
Question 300
A large file contains one failing branch that matters. How should the user focus Copilot?

Explanation
Correct Answer
C:Targeted context improves relevance under token constraints.
Incorrect Answers

Question 306
A developer asks for a dependency-free solution but Copilot imports a new package. What should the prompt say?
- Require stable ordering with a defined tie-breaker.
- Explicitly require offline operation with no external network requests.
- Constrain the task to application code and reject schema migrations.
- State that only standard-library and existing declared dependencies are allowed.
Explanation
Correct Answer
D:An explicit dependency boundary narrows acceptable implementations.
Incorrect Answers
A:Determinism must be a testable output property. an explicit dependency boundary narrows acceptable implementations.
B:An unstated environmental limitation is easy for a generator to miss. What should the prompt say. An explicit dependency boundary narrows acceptable implementations.
C:Explicit non-goals protect unrelated layers of the system. An explicit dependency boundary narrows acceptable implementations.
Question 307
A generated API endpoint leaks internal fields in its response. What should be specified?
- State that only standard-library and existing declared dependencies are allowed.
- List the permitted response fields and prohibit exposing secret or internal attributes.
- Constrain the task to application code and reject schema migrations.
- Require stable ordering with a defined tie-breaker.
Explanation
Correct Answer
B:Data minimization belongs in the interface contract.
Incorrect Answers
A:An explicit dependency boundary narrows acceptable implementations. data minimization belongs in the interface contract.
C:Explicit non-goals protect unrelated layers of the system. Data minimization belongs in the interface contract.
D:Determinism must be a testable output property. data minimization belongs in the interface contract.
Question 308
Copilot proposes network calls in a function that must run offline. How should the task be constrained?
- State that only standard-library and existing declared dependencies are allowed.
- List the permitted response fields and prohibit exposing secret or internal attributes.
- Explicitly require offline operation with no external network requests.
- Constrain the task to application code and reject schema migrations.

Question 310
A service must run offline and must not add dependencies, but Copilot suggests a cloud API and a new package. Which TWO restrictions belong in the prompt? (Select TWO.)
- Permit the model to choose any runtime it prefers.
- Delete all integration tests before regenerating the solution.
- State that the implementation cannot make external network requests.
