Lesson 60 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/60-ill-on-match-day-play-or-stay-home/).

Mia from Christchurch: «I'm sweet as now!» the morning after being sick. What's the rule?

- **1.** Play as soon as you feel OK, even that day — no support
- **2.** Wait just 4 hours — **← Mova's choice** · score 3
- **3.** Play but drink nothing — no support
- **4.** Wait 48 hours after the last sick — **✓ the right answer** · score 3

<!-- .why -->
**Why:** It took the question to ask what it is done to. It chose option 2 with score 3, tied with another option at 3 (the first shown, or the one claiming less beyond what it knows, wins). Its support: lesson 37, line 15: «The old rule of waiting an hour after eating before swimming, or you'll get cramp, has no good evidence behind it.», reached through the option's own match among the sentences about the question's things. What matched: the same action «wait» (+3); the same property (+1). Against it: a different doer (counts against) (-1). The right option, 4, scored 3. · [the question and its options parsed, with trees and pragmatics](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/questions/medicine/60-ill-on-match-day-play-or-stay-home/t1/)
