This is test 14 · ★ of lesson 1775 «Tales of the East, How a Fish Swam in the Air and a Hare in the Water, part 2: a pot of gold, a fake fish and hare, and a wife who spends it all» of the books 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.
