Exam question 4 · Inside the Earth

It is given that the Kola Superdeep Borehole attained a depth of approximately twelve kilometres. Ascertain which statement is correct in respect thereof.

Mova's choice: option 1 · The right answer: option 2 · wrong ✗ · Who acts: Kola Superdeep, you, statement · What happens: give, attain, ascertain, be · To what, where: It, depth, respect

This is exam question 4 of lesson 41 «Inside the Earth» of the geography 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.
