Scary things in the world: news, strangers, war and what-ifs, sentence 4

The useful habit is to ask "Is this real, how likely is it, and what would I do?": a drill is practice, a scary YouTube "end of the world" is clickbait, but a man in a car offering a lift is a real danger, and running home and telling was exactly right.

Who acts: useful habit, this, drill, scary YouTube end, man · What happens: be, do, offer, run, tell · To what, where: worry, practice, clickbait, lift, real danger · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Scary things in the world: news, strangers, war and what-ifs» of the reflection course of Mova's primary school.

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.
