Test 1 · ★★ · Satellites and GPS

«astronauts float on the space station cos there's no gravity up there, easy» What is the best correction?

Mova's choice: option 4 · The right answer: option 4 · right ✓ · Who acts: astronauts, gravity, best correction · What happens: float, co, be · To what, where: space station · Speech: someone speaks here

This is test 1 · ★★ of lesson 38 «Satellites and GPS» of the technology 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.
