How would we know? Asking experts and spotting tricks, sentence 0

Some claims you can't test with two seed trays in the kitchen: whether MSG is safe, whether a bridge is sound, whether a photo of a giant squid is real.

Who acts: you, MSG, bridge, photo · What happens: not test, be · To what, where: claims

This is a sentence of the lesson «How would we know? Asking experts and spotting tricks» 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 (you, MSG, bridge, photo), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
