Series 7 – General Securities Representative Exam practice questions: the prompt for ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini

You are writing exam-style multiple-choice practice questions for me. I am preparing for Series 7 – General Securities Representative Exam, set by FINRA. Write questions that match the real exam's content, difficulty and style, drawn from the current official syllabus.

Write 20 questions. Each must be a standalone multiple-choice question that can be answered from its own stem and options, with exactly the right answer(s) marked and nothing ambiguous.

Set each question's `topic` to one of these names, copied exactly (same words, same capitalization; these are the only topic names the import accepts):
- Seeks Business for the Broker-Dealer from Customers and Potential Customers (subtopics: Contacts current and potential customers in person and by telephone, mail and electronic means; Describes investment products and services to current and potential customers with the intent of soliciting business)
- Opens Accounts After Obtaining and Evaluating Customers' Financial Profile (subtopics: Informs customers of the types of accounts and provides disclosures regarding various account types and restrictions; Obtains and updates customer information and documentation, including required legal documents; Makes reasonable efforts to obtain customer investment profile information; Obtains supervisory approvals required to open accounts)
- Provides Customers with Information About Investments, Makes Recommendations (subtopics: Provides customers with information about investment strategies, risks and rewards; Reviews and analyzes customers' investment profiles and product options; Provides required disclosures regarding investment products and their characteristics, risks, services and expenses; Communicates with customers about account information, processes requests and retains documentation)
- Obtains and Verifies Customers' Purchase and Sales Instructions and Agreements (subtopics: Provides current quotes; Processes and confirms customers’ transactions pursuant to regulatory requirements; Informs the appropriate supervisor and assists in the resolution of discrepancies, disputes, errors and complaints; Addresses margin issues)
Where subtopics are listed, set `subtopic` to one of them; otherwise choose a short, specific `subtopic` of your own or leave it out.

Spread the questions across the topics in the real exam's proportions, about:
- Seeks Business for the Broker-Dealer from Customers and Potential Customers: 1 (7% of the real exam)
- Opens Accounts After Obtaining and Evaluating Customers' Financial Profile: 2 (9% of the real exam)
- Provides Customers with Information About Investments, Makes Recommendations: 15 (73% of the real exam)
- Obtains and Verifies Customers' Purchase and Sales Instructions and Agreements: 2 (11% of the real exam)

Give each question exactly 4 options. Options are plain text without letter prefixes (DoMcq labels them A, B, C… by position); make them similar in length and form so the right one does not stand out.
Every question has exactly one correct option; `answer` is a single letter.
Never use these as an option: "all of the above", "none of the above". Avoid "both A and B" style options too.

Keep each stem self-contained (any scenario the question needs is in the stem), concrete and free of trick wording. Do not refer to other questions, images, tables or exhibits.

Mix the difficulty: about 6 easy, 10 medium and 4 hard, and set each question's `difficulty` to "easy", "medium" or "hard" accordingly.

In `explanation`, say in two to four sentences why the correct answer is correct, in a way that teaches the underlying point, not just restates the option.

In `source`, give a short reference I can check in my own study materials (a syllabus topic, a chapter or section name, a learning objective, or a standard's clause), at most 200 characters; never invent a page number or a quotation.

Leave out `rationales` and `id`.

Before you answer, check your own work: no two questions ask the same thing; no question gives away another's answer; the correct option sits in a different position from one question to the next (never always the same letter); every `answer` letter exists for that question; the correct option is correct according to the current official material, not folklore; facts are accurate. Fix anything you find.

Output the whole set as one JSON object in the `domcq/1` format (schema: https://domcq.com/schema/v1; this is the import format of https://domcq.com):

```json
{
  "format": "domcq/1",
  "exam": "finra-series-7",
  "set": "Series 7 – General Securities Representative Exam practice – [a short name for this set]",
  "questions": [
    {
      "stem": "[the question, 10–2000 characters]",
      "options": [
        "[option 1]",
        "[option 2]",
        "[option 3]",
        "[option 4]"
      ],
      "answer": "B",
      "explanation": "[why the correct answer is correct, 1–3000 characters]",
      "topic": "Seeks Business for the Broker-Dealer from Customers and Potential Customers",
      "subtopic": "[optional, more specific]",
      "difficulty": "medium",
      "source": "[a reference I can check]"
    }
  ]
}
```

Rules the import enforces: `format` is exactly "domcq/1"; `set` is 1–120 characters; `questions` holds all 20; each question has exactly the fields shown (no others); `stem` is 10–2000 characters and each option 1–500; `options` are all different; `answer` uses capital letters A–F naming options by position, in ascending order, never every option; `explanation` (1–3000 characters) and `topic` are required; `subtopic` (up to 120 characters), `difficulty` ("easy", "medium" or "hard") and `source` (up to 200 characters) are optional. Use plain double quotes in JSON strings (escape any inside text as \"), no trailing commas, no comments.

Reply with the JSON object inside a single ```json code fence and nothing else: no introduction, no commentary, no notes after it. If the set is long, keep going until every question is written and the JSON is complete and closed.
