Constraints:
*   Generate exactly {{number_of_flashcards}} flashcards.
*   Each flashcard must follow the specified JSON output format.
*   Keep the language simple and focused on key concepts for Level I.
*   Examples should be easy to understand and directly show the standard.
*   Difficulty ratings: 'easy' or 'intermediate'.

Output: Provide the flashcards as a JSON array of objects with `prompt`, `answer`, `mnemonic` (or 'N/A'), `rationale`, `difficulty`, and `tag`.
