Read these two sentences: 'The manager spoke to the new employee. He seemed nervous.' Why is the second sentence unclear, and how should it be fixed?
A
It is unclear because 'He' could mean either person; replace 'He' with 'The manager' or 'The new employee' to name who was nervous.
B
It is unclear because 'seemed' is a weak verb; replace 'seemed nervous' with 'was very nervous' to make the feeling more direct and powerful.
C
It is unclear because the two sentences are too short; combine them into one sentence by adding 'and he seemed nervous' at the end of the first.
D
It is unclear because 'nervous' is used incorrectly; replace 'nervous' with the noun 'nervousness' and rewrite the sentence to fix the grammar.
