Question Components
AWS specialty exam questions contain two components: scenario and question.
Scenario: This portion frames the situation on which the question is based. It lists services, problems, and requirements that will help you come to a correct response. You will always have all the information you need to identify the correct response. Do not try to add to or remove information from the scenario.
Question: The question always specifies the exact conditions that must be met. If more than one response is required, the question always specifies the number of required responses. If nothing is specified, there is only one correct response.
