Sounds right, but is wrong, sentence 12

A clock striking 6 times has 5 gaps between the strikes; if that takes 5 seconds, each gap is 1 second, so 12 strikes (11 gaps) take 11 seconds.

Who acts: clock, that, gap, 12 strikes · What happens: strike, have, take, be · To what, where: 5 gaps, 1 second

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): R6-punct-agree ×1, R7-rel-agree ×1, R8-pos-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.
