A wastewater lab sample-log tester asks for equivalence-partition conditions from a story and includes no sample row. Which prompting technique is this?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Zero-shot means no worked example in the prompt — not merely “keep it short.” Asking for equivalence-partition conditions from a story with no sample row is zero-shot. The story is the basis, not a demonstration of the desired output pattern.
Full Explanation
Zero-shot prompting includes no example and relies on the model’s pre-existing knowledge. It is not defined by prompt length. One-shot and few-shot add one or more worked examples; chaining sequences checked steps. The wastewater sample-log ask with no sample row is zero-shot.
