Checking practice: true, false and not sure yet, sentence 13

Headlines often make a small study sound huge; the study may have tested few people or found something tiny, and usually says "more research is needed".

Who acts: Headlines, study · What happens: make, test, find, say, need · To what, where: study sound, few people, something, more research · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Checking practice: true, false and not sure yet» of the politics course of Mova's primary school.

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 ×3, R7-rel-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.
