Explanation:

To determine which prompt is stronger, we analyze the clarity and specificity of the tasks:

Step 1: Analyze Prompt A

Prompt A asks to “Explain when and how elections are held in the US” and specifies the sources should be “easy to read.” However, it lacks details on the audience (e.g., a high school student) and the type of sources (e.g., government sources).

Step 2: Analyze Prompt B

Prompt B specifies the audience (“a high school student”) and the type of sources (“government sources that provide more information”). This specificity makes the task clearer for the AI, as it knows the intended reader and the required source type.

Answer:

Prompt B is stronger because it specifies the audience (a high school student) and the type of sources (government sources), making the task more precise and actionable for the AI.
