# Exam question 3 · Forces — pushes, pulls, friction and magnets

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Select the response that is consistent with the established facts concerning the interaction of two magnets whose like poles are placed in proximity.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Mova's choice:** option 2 · **The right answer:** option 1 · wrong ✗ · **Who acts:** you, response, established facts, two magnets · **What happens:** select, be, establish, concern, place, interact · **To what, where:** response, interaction, poles, proximity

<!-- .vabout -->
This is exam question 3 of lesson 51 «Forces — pushes, pulls, friction and magnets» of the world course of Mova's primary school, asked in stiff, formal language. 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/world/51-forces/#e3).
