** Question 1:

What is the relationship between the "toxicity filter" and the "hate speech filter" in GitHub Copilot?

Answer Options:

1. The hate speech filter is a component of the broader toxicity filter.

2. The toxicity filter and the hate speech filter are independent and operate separately.

3. The toxicity filter is triggered only after the hate speech filter detects offensive language.

4. The hate speech filter is more lenient than the toxicity filter, allowing for some forms of offensive language.

Correct Answer:

1. The hate speech filter is a component of the broader toxicity filter.

Explanation:

GitHub Copilot's toxicity filter is designed to catch various kinds of harmful language, and the hate speech filter is specifically designed to catch hate speech. This means that the hate speech filter is just one part of the overall toxicity filter.

** Question 2:

You want Copilot Chat to generate code for a simple JavaScript function. Which of the following are acceptable ways to phrase your request (Select two)?

Answer Options:

1. write a javascript function to [function purpose]

2. /new javascript function to [function purpose]

3. @javascript write a function to [function purpose]

4. create function to [function purpose] in #file

Correct Answers:

1. write a javascript function to [function purpose]

4. create function to [function purpose] in #file

Explanations:

• Option 1 is correct because it's a clear and direct instruction to Copilot Chat. For example, you could say "write a javascript function to calculate the area of a triangle".

• Option 2 is incorrect because "/new" is usually used for creating new files or projects, not for individual functions within a file.

• Option 3 is incorrect because there's no "@javascript" command or participant in Copilot Chat.

• Option 4 is correct because it clearly tells Copilot what you want ("create function") and provides context by specifying the file where the function should be added (using the "#file" variable).
