Improving a Role-Playing Prompt
Consider the following instruction given to a large language model: 'You are a mathematician. You will be provided with a math problem. Please solve the problem.' A user finds that the model often provides only the final answer without any explanation. Briefly explain why this instruction is insufficient for the user's goal of understanding the solution process, and then rewrite the instruction to explicitly request a step-by-step explanation.

A user provides the following instruction to a large language model to get help with a math problem: 'You are a mathematician. You will be provided with a math problem. Please solve the problem.' The user's goal is to receive both the final answer and a clear explanation of how the answer was reached. Which of the following statements best analyzes the primary limitation of this instruction for achieving the user's full goal?
