# Test 10 · The air presses on everything

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
A football that is pumped up hard is weighed, then the air is let out. What changes?

<!-- .vintro -->
**Mova's choice:** option 2 · **The right answer:** option 2 · right ✓ · **What happens:** pump up, weigh, let out, change · **To what, where:** football, air

<!-- .vabout -->
This is test 10 of lesson 14 «The air presses on everything» of the physics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives the question's syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause, then the 4 options as the student saw them, each with its tree and pragmatics. Every text is parsed by Mova itself. How the student answered it, with the score of every option and why: [the test at school](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/school-run/physics/14-the-air-presses-on-everything/#t10).
