What it measures

Tests public relations knowledge and understanding, including communication strategies, crisis management, media relations, and PR principles. Queries evaluate understanding of public relations practices.

Scoring & Criteria

Returns score 1.0 if the extracted answer exactly matches the expected answer letter (after normalization), otherwise 0.0. The system prompt requests answers in `<answer>X</answer>` format where X is a letter from the provided choices (A, B, C, D, etc.). The grader normalizes for models that include the full choice text instead of just the letter, or that violate the answer tag format from the system prompt. Only one answer is correct.

Evaluation Type: Multiple Choice

Grades multiple choice responses by exact string matching with normalization.
