Test 11 · What Christians believe: God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit

A judge follows up: «Do all Christians read every part of the Bible word for word?»

Mova's choice: option 4 · The right answer: option 3 · wrong ✗ · Who acts: judge, Christians · What happens: follow up, do, read · To what, where: part · Speech: someone speaks here

This is test 11 of lesson 21 «What Christians believe: God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit» of the religion ethics 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.
