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 is developing a skill that enables users to purchase train tickets. The Builder wants to give users the ability to modify the departure time if they are misunderstood, before the skill proceeds to purchase the tickets.

Which option should be used to implement this functionality within the session?

A. Implement AMAZON.FallbackIntent so the user can stop the execution when they have been

misunderstood.

B. Implement AMAZON.StopIntent so the user can stop the execution and implement reprompt with a new invocation of the skill.

C. Implement AMAZON.CancelIntent so the user can cancel the order, then set shouldEndSession to false, and prompt the user for the next action.

D. Implement the welcome message, providing clear instructions to the user describing how to format an order.

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 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.

B. Develop each response as text, and let Alexa speak each part differently using SSML markup for to alter the Alexa voice for each character.

C. Record custom audio for each character voice and the sound effects in the story, then include the custom audio using SSML markup in the response.

D. Record the entire story as custom audio and stream the audio stored on Amazon S3 using the AudioPlayer interface.

When testing an Amazon Alexa skill using the Test page in the developer console, the JSON output is null. What is the MOST likely cause?

A. The AWS Lambda function is encountering an error and is not returning a result.

B. The endpoint ARN has not been configured

C. The ASK has not been granted access to trigger the AWS Lambda function

D. Skill ID verification has been disabled

An Alexa Skill Builder is creating a skill that requires the user to authenticate by speaking a PIN before an order status can be retrieved.

According to best practices, how should the PIN value be collected?

A. Use AMAZON.SearchQuery

B. Use AMAZON.FOUR_DIGIT_NUMBER

C. Use multiple slots of type AMAZON.NUMBER

D. Use a custom slot with zero to nine as values.

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 implemented the built-in intent AMAZON.HelpIntent. In some cases, users are asking for help using phrases that are specific to a skill's 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.

B. Use AMAZON.FallbackIntent to capture spoken phrases that do not match AMAZON.HelpIntent, then determine if the user needs help.

C. Define custom slots for AMAZON.HelpIntent to capture the additional details in the users' help requests

D. Extend the standard built-in AMAZON.HelpIntent using additional samples in the skill's interaction model

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
