Adverts and how they work on you, sentence 4

The trick to beat an ad is to ask questions: who paid for this, what do they want me to feel, and says who?

Who acts: trick, questions, tricks, me · What happens: beat, be, pay, want, feel, say · To what, where: ad, me · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Adverts and how they work on you» of the money course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (trick, questions, tricks, me), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
