Test 5 · Who you are: being wrong and learning

What would happen if you always guessed instead of saying "I'm not sure"?

Mova's choice: option 1 · The right answer: option 4 · wrong ✗ · Who acts: you, I · What happens: happen, guess, say, not be · Speech: someone speaks here

This is test 5 of lesson 29 «Who you are: being wrong and learning» of the AI course of Mova's primary school. The page gives the question's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause, then the 4 options as the student saw them, each with its tree and pragmatics. Every text is parsed by Mova itself. How the student answered it, with the score of every option and why: the test at school.
