Test 12 · ★ · Simple machines and how they help

a video said a clever machine can give you more work than you put in. right?

Mova's choice: option 4 · The right answer: option 4 · right ✓ · Who acts: video, clever machine, you · What happens: say, give, put in · To what, where: more work, you · Speech: someone speaks here

This is test 12 · ★ of lesson 52 «Simple machines and how they help» of the world 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.
