Lesson 67 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/67-losing-well-and-winning-well/).

<!-- .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/67-losing-well-and-winning-well/).

«crap ref, we lost 'cause of him, that's it». What's more likely?

- **1.** The ref decided the whole game alone, start to finish — **← Mova's choice** · score 0

Its support: lesson 67, line 9: «A match is made of many mistakes and good moves by everybody, so one player never loses a game alone.», reached through the remembered sentence the question matched. What matched: the same thing acted on «game» (+2); the same property (+2). Against it: a different action (counts against) (-2); a different doer (counts against) (-2). 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/67-losing-well-and-winning-well/t1/)
