Sounds wrong, but is right, sentence 17

Each fold doubles the layers of paper: 7 folds make 128 layers and 10 folds would make 1,024, which is why ordinary paper is very hard to fold more than about 7 times.

Who acts: fold, 7 folds · What happens: double, make, be, fold · To what, where: layers, 128 layers, 1,024, more

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.
