Test 5 · ★ · Wind and weather

What would happen to the sea breeze on a cloudy day when the land barely warms?

Mova's choice: option 2 · The right answer: option 3 · wrong ✗ · Who acts: land · What happens: happen, warm

This is test 5 · ★ of lesson 15 «Wind and weather» of the physics 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.
