Hi Hyong Woo Choi,
Good questions!
When you're doing 'single word prompts' it is totally fine to give them 2 words if you would like to (it depends on the structure). Let's imagine you just looked at the structure: "S went to (place) to (verb) something" for example. Maybe you give them two words. For example, you give them the word "park" and "ride". So, maybe a student will say, "I went to the park to ride my bike around". So basically to answer your question again, yes, you can give them more than one word, but it really just depends on the structure that you have just taught them.
As for your question about picture prompts, you don't have to ask them any questions while showing them the picture. Remember, that picture prompts are a practice activity that we do after presenting a structure. So again, let's imagine that we presented the same structure, "S went to (place) to (verb) something". Maybe we show them a picture of a supermarket. Or we could even show them 2 pictures, maybe a picture of a supermarket and also a picture of demonstrating the verb "buy". Then we a pick a student, and hopefully they say, "I went to a supermarket to buy some milk" for example.
So, just remember that both picture prompts, and single word prompts are practice activities that are connected to a structure that we have recently taught. Also, although the title might be "single word prompts" we do not have to only use a single word, it is up to us, and it depends on the structure.
Anyhow, I hope that helps and have a wonderful day!
