Explorers, scientists and inventors, sentence 10

Einstein did not fail maths; he was very good at it as a boy, and the myth may come from a failed entrance exam he took two years early, where he did well in maths and physics but not in other subjects.

Who acts: Einstein, myth · What happens: not fail, be, come, fail, take, do · To what, where: maths, Earth, failed entrance exam

This is a sentence of the lesson «Explorers, scientists and inventors» of the myths 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 (Einstein, myth), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×2, R7-rel-agree ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
