Olympiad: which claim is true? ★★★, sentence 1

The trick is never to trust the loudest voice; check each claim against what you already know, then count, turn or line things up to be sure.

Who acts: trick, you · What happens: not be, check, know, count, turn, line up · To what, where: claim, things
