Test 4 · ★★ · The Wind in the Willows, chapter XI, part 1: «Like Summer…

Is it TRUE or FALSE? «Toad really agrees with every word the Rat says.»

Mova's choice: option 1 · The right answer: option 2 · wrong ✗ · Who acts: it, Toad, Rat · What happens: be, agree, say · To what, where: word · Speech: someone speaks here

This is test 4 · ★★ of lesson 65 «The Wind in the Willows, chapter XI, part 1: «Like Summer Tempests Came His Tears» (home at the Rat's, a telling-off, and bad news)» 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. Every text is parsed by Mova itself. How the student answered it, with the score of every option and why: the test at school.
