Where should the skill obtain the necessary context?

- B: The skill was not submitted for publishing.
- C: The colleague was not made an administrator in the beta test tool.

Question 8
An Amazon Alexa skill fetches data for users from a third-party API and the wait for the response from that call is variable, often taking up to 5 seconds.

Question 9
An Alexa Skill Builder has created a custom skill about basketball including a HowToPlayBasketball intent. When looking at the Intent History page in the developer console, the Builder sees that a number of users are asking the skill how to play baseball. The Builder wants to add a relevant response directing the user back to the topic of basketball.
How should the Builder implement this?
- A: Add AMAZON.FallbackIntent and respond with a message about baseball in the handler
- B: Create a custom intent related to baseball, and when matched, provide a relevant response
- C: Add more sample utterances related to baseball in the HowToPlayBasketball intent
- D: Create a new custom baseball slot and add a slot-filling utterance to the HowToPlayBasketball intent.
Question 10
An Alexa Skill Builder is using session attributes to maintain a user's state.
What can the Builder do to ensure that a user's session is not lost if they take too long to answer a question and the skill exists?
- A: Set shouldEndSession to false in the response object to prevent the skill from exiting.

What approach should the Builder take to track this information?
