You develop a custom question answering project in Azure Cognitive Service for Language.

Comprehensive Detailed ExplanationWhen you develop a custom question answering project (formerly QnA Maker, now part of Azure Cognitive Service for Language – Question Answering), you can configure it for multi-turn conversations.

Follow-up prompts

Used to create multi-turn conversations.

They allow the system to present additional questions to the user after an initial question, guiding the conversation flow.

Example:

User: "Tell me about Azure Storage."

Bot: "Which type of storage: Blob, File, Queue, or Table?"

These follow-up options are configured using follow-up prompts.

Correct choice for this question.

Active learning

Helps improve the knowledge base by suggesting alternative questions from user queries.

Not related to multi-turn conversation flow.

Alternate questions

Used to add different phrasings for the same question.

Example: “What is Azure Blob Storage?” and “Explain Blob Storage in Azure.”

This improves recognition but does not enable multi-turn conversations.

Chit-chat

Adds small talk and casual conversation handling (e.g., greetings, jokes).

Not related to multi-turn Q&A about a knowledge base.

Correct Answer: A. Add follow-up prompts
