## Prompt

```text
Write practice questions for my certification exam, in the style of the real exam.

**Certification and exam version:** [NAME AND VERSION]
**Domain or objective to cover:** [e.g. "risk management", "IAM and access policies"]
**Question formats:** [e.g. "single best answer", "choose two", "case study with several questions"]
**Difficulty:** [FOUNDATION / EXAM LEVEL / HARDER THAN EXAM]
**Number of questions:** [e.g. 10]
**My notes or source material (optional but recommended):** [PASTE]

Rules:
- Use scenario stems that describe a realistic situation and ask for the best action, first step, or most likely cause, not simple definitions.
- Build distractors from common misconceptions and from answers that are true in general but wrong for this scenario.
- Exactly one best answer per question (or the stated number for multi-select).
- Base questions on my pasted material or well-established knowledge. Flag anything that changes between versions or by region with [CONFIRM against the current exam guide].
- These are practice questions, not real exam items. Do not claim otherwise.

Return:
1. All questions first, numbered, with no answers, so I can attempt them.
2. Then an answer key: correct answer, why it is right, and why each wrong option is wrong.
3. The objective each question tests.
4. An offer to mark my answers if I paste them back.

This is step 3 of the "Pass a professional certification exam" pack. It works on its own; if you have the priorities from step 1 or the calendar from step 2, use them to pick the domain.
