Test 3 · ★★ · The Wind in the Willows, chapter II, part 2: The Open Road…

Toad says he only wants «to give pleasure to you fellows». What does he really want?

Mova's choice: option 2 · The right answer: option 4 · wrong ✗ · Who acts: Toad · What happens: say, want, give · To what, where: pleasure, fellows · Speech: someone speaks here

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.
