Select the response that is consistent with the established facts concerning diamond and graphite.

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

This is exam question 3 of lesson 2 «Elements and the famous members of the periodic table» 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.
