To complete the query to search for hotels based on their rating, we need to fill in the "orderby" parameter. The "orderby" parameter is used to specify the field to sort the results by and the sorting order. The correct answer for the "orderby" parameter is B. rating desc.

The complete query to search for top twenty hotels that offer spa and have a rating greater than four sorted in order of rating with the higher rating on the top using Azure Cognitive Search is as follows:

perlCopy code
POST https://[service name].search.windows.net/indexes/<index name>/docs/search?api-version=2020-06-30 {     "search": "hotel +spa",     "searchFields": "HotelName, StreetAddress, City, State, Tags",     "select": "searchFields": "HotelName, StreetAddress, City, State, Tags",     "top": "20",     "count": "true",     "orderby": "rating desc" } 

Here, the "search" parameter specifies the query text to search for hotels that offer spa. The "searchFields" parameter specifies the fields to search in for the query text. The "select" parameter specifies the fields to retrieve in the search results. The "top" parameter specifies the maximum number of search results to return. The "count" parameter specifies whether to return the total count of search results. Finally, the "orderby" parameter specifies the field to sort the search results by and the sorting order. In this case, we want to sort by the "rating" field in descending order, which means the hotels with the highest rating will appear at the top of the search results.
