看答案

suspiciously

此處用副詞 suspiciously 修飾 examined,表示帶著疑心檢視。suspicious 是形容詞,不能在此修飾檢視的動作;suspicion 與 suspicions 分別是單數及複數名詞,放入完整句子後都無法形成所需的修飾結構。

同義改寫

The receptionist was suspicious of the unexpected request for staff passwords. → The receptionist had doubts about the trustworthiness of the unexpected request for staff passwords.
兩句都表示櫃檯人員懷疑這項要求是否可信,並未斷言要求一定有問題。
The email looked suspicious because its sender address did not match the company name. → The email seemed untrustworthy because its sender address did not match the company name.
looked suspicious 與 seemed untrustworthy 在此都表達郵件令人起疑的觀感,保留相同原因,沒有將疑慮改寫成已確認的事實。
