Mismatched Prompts Answer Key

In this worksheet, students examine prompts that look acceptable on the surface but contain mismatched or contradictory instructions. For each “broken” prompt, learners identify what’s wrong-for example, a task that mixes incompatible genres or combines unrelated requirements-and then rewrite it into two corrected versions that make sense. This activity teaches students to notice hidden flaws in prompt wording and practice transforming confusing or misleading prompts into clear, purposeful ones. It strengthens analytical thinking, detail awareness, and skillful rewriting.
