Test 6 · Cheating at school: copying and peeking

What would happen if everyone peeked in every test?

Mova's choice: option 1 · The right answer: option 2 · wrong ✗ · What happens: happen, peek · To what, where: everyone

This is test 6 of lesson 92 «Cheating at school: copying and peeking» 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.
