Lesson 44 of the medicine course of Mova's primary school, as Mova's small model took its tests: it had read this lesson and the ones before it and learned from their exercises. Each test shows the options in the order the student saw them, its choice, the right answer, the score of every option and why it chose. The lesson itself, sentence by sentence with trees and pragmatics: [the lesson in the corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/medicine/44-basketball-tennis-skateboarding-and-ice-skating/).

<!-- .vabout -->
Every question of this lesson and each of its options parsed by Mova, with trees and pragmatics: [the lesson's questions in the corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/questions/medicine/44-basketball-tennis-skateboarding-and-ice-skating/).

### Test 1 · wrong ✗ {#t1}

<!-- .q -->
Marcus: "Y'all, that's a three, no cap!" Ref holds up two fingers. Who's right?

- **1.** Marcus, if the ball went in cleanly — **← Mova's choice** · no support
- **2.** Nobody: it's a free throw from there — no support
- **3.** The ref: toe on the line makes it 2 — **✓ the right answer** · no support
- **4.** Marcus: the line counts as outside the arc — no support

<!-- .why -->
**Why:** No option found support in what it remembers, so it guessed: it took the first option shown. · [the question and its options parsed, with trees and pragmatics](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/questions/medicine/44-basketball-tennis-skateboarding-and-ice-skating/t1/)

- **1.** It'd be twice as high as the full one — **← Mova's choice** · score 5
- **2.** She'd score 3 points every time she hit it — no support
- **3.** It'd be exactly the same for her — no support
- **4.** It'd be 45 cm lower and easier for her — **✓ the right answer** · no support

<!-- .why -->
**Why:** It took the question to ask which statement is true. It chose option 1 with score 5, the only option with support. Its support: lesson 44, line 6: «A full-size hoop is 3.05 m (10 feet) high; mini-basketball for younger children uses a lower hoop of about 2.60 m, and a good shot pushes up from the legs.», reached through the remembered sentence the question matched. What matched: the same property (+2); the same light verb (be, have, do, get, go) (+2); the same doer «size hoop» (+1). The right option, 4, found no support in what it remembers. · [the question and its options parsed, with trees and pragmatics](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/questions/medicine/44-basketball-tennis-skateboarding-and-ice-skating/t2/)

What matched: it fills the role the question asks for (+5); the same thing acted on «ball» (+3). Against it: a different doer (counts against) (-2). The right option, 1, scored 5. · [the question and its options parsed, with trees and pragmatics](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/questions/medicine/44-basketball-tennis-skateboarding-and-ice-skating/t3/)
