Assuming statements always come before questions, which is a valid
assumption in my book. However, suppose you have the question

> Are any poisonous fungi scrumptious treats?

There are a few combinations to check for existing knowledge:
"poisonous" "fungi scrumptious treats"
"poisonous fungi" "scrumptious treats"
"poisonous fungi scrumptious" "treats"

Either something is known about one (or more, yikes!) of the
combinations, or none of the combos is known.  In which
case, you probably need to say nothing is known about any of
them.

I haven't decided what to do if more than 1 combo is known.
Guess asking for clarification is the only option...
