  • {{subject}}: The subject area (e.g., math, science, language arts).
  • {{topic}}: The specific topic to focus on (e.g., fractions, ecosystems, grammar).
  • {{question_types}}: (Optional) Preferred question formats (e.g., multiple-choice, short-answer, fill-in-the-blank).
  • {{number_of_questions}}: (Optional) Desired number of questions.

Instructions

  1. If any required inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
  2. Design a quiz that covers the fundamental aspects of the specified topic, ensuring a logical progression from basic to more complex concepts.
  3. Include a variety of question types as specified, or a balanced mix if not specified.
  4. For each question, provide clear instructions, answer choices (if applicable), and an answer key with brief explanations.
