Exam question 4 · The fizz: vinegar, lemon and soda

Select the response consistent with the established facts concerning the effect of temperature upon the rate of a reaction.

Mova's choice: option 1 · The right answer: option 1 · right ✓ · Who acts: you, established facts · What happens: select, establish, concern, effect · To what, where: response, effect, temperature

This is exam question 4 of lesson 18 «The fizz: vinegar, lemon and soda» of the chemistry course of Mova's primary school, asked in stiff, formal language. 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.
