Test 8 · ★★ · Inventions, computers and the internet

A program tells a robot "move forward, turn left, move forward". What happens if one step is missing?

Mova's choice: option 1 · The right answer: option 1 · right ✓ · Who acts: program, one step · What happens: tell, move forward, turn, happen, be · To what, where: robot · Speech: someone speaks here

This is test 8 · ★★ of lesson 59 «Inventions, computers and the internet» 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.
