These passages were strong candidates in a prior helpfulness-rating study. They are useful rhythm templates, not validated correct answers for the new forced-choice measure. The upcoming measure should use fresh matched foils and mostly natural prose.

This tool provides a computational approximation of English syllable stress
and rhythm. English prosody depends on lexical stress, sentence-level

individual reading style. It is a reading scaffold, not a rule for how a
sentence must be spoken — that's why every syllable is tappable.
