How would we know? Asking experts and spotting tricks, sentence 4

Watch for tricks: an edited photo of a real animal, a selling word like "superfood", or "everybody knows", which sounds like evidence and isn't.

Who acts: you, everybody · What happens: watch, edit, sell, know, sound, not be

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.
