Item 1

Question: You need to optimize read performance for Power BI Direct Lake mode on large Delta tables in a Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse. What setting is applied by default when writing Delta tables via Microsoft Fabric engines?

  • A) Parquet Snappy Compression only
  • B) Microsoft VertiPaq V-Order sorting
  • C) Gzip Compression
  • D) CSV indexing

Correct Answer: B
Explanation: V-Order is a write-time optimization algorithm applied by default in Microsoft Fabric that reorders in-memory data before writing parquet files, achieving VertiPaq-level read speeds for Power BI Direct Lake and SQL queries.


Item 2

Question: You need to implement Row-Level Security (RLS) on a table in a Fabric Lakehouse for business analysts who query data using the SQL analytics endpoint. What is the minimum workspace permission you should grant to these analysts?

  • A) Contributor
  • B) Member
  • C) Viewer
  • D) Admin

Correct Answer: C
Explanation: Users with Viewer role access data strictly through the read-only SQL Analytics Endpoint where Row-Level Security (RLS) predicates are evaluated. Users with Contributor, Member, or Admin permissions have write/admin rights that bypass RLS unless specifically restricted.


Item 3

Question: Which KQL operator allows you to dynamically parse a JSON string column into strongly typed variables during query execution?

  • A) parse_json()
  • B) to_json()
  • C) json_extract()
  • D) cast_json()

Correct Answer: A
Explanation: In KQL, parse_json() interprets a string expression as a dynamic JSON object or array, enabling property path navigation (e.g. Parsed.property.subproperty).
