Question

Of the following, which is the best way to phrase sentence 4 (reproduced below) ?
He listens intently, asks me some questions, and my feelings are seemingly known by him exactly.

• A. (As it is now)
• B. Listening intently, he will ask me some questions and then my exact feelings are seemingly known to him.
• C. As he listens to me and asks me some questions, he seems to be knowing exactly my feelings.
• D. He listened to me and asked me some questions, seeming to know exactly how I felt.
• E. He listens intently, asks me some questions, and then seems to know exactly how I feel.

Answer 1

The correct option is E He listens intently, asks me some questions, and then seems to know exactly how I feel.

Here, "and my feelings are seemingly known by him exactly" is an ungrammatical construct: "seemingly" does not correspond with "listens" and "asks"; thereby clashing with the structure of the sentence. Option E is the only one that rectifies these errors without adding new ones (like other options do).
