Hello,
I got an answer which has been confusing me. I'm not convinced with it.
In toefl post-test, P.82, Q.4, there is a question said:
Woman: How did Chuck look when you visited him in the hospital?
Man: He's looked better.
Narrator: WHAT DOES THE MAN MEAN?
(a) Chuck has improved.
(b) This visit was better than the last.
(c) Chuck looked at him in the hospital.
(d) Chuck didn't seem to be doing very well.
I chose (A), but toefl key answers say "the best answer is (D)"
I was wondering, why number (A) is wrong?
Did the man say it sarcastically and mean the opposite meaning?
I have attached the sound track for this conversation. Maybe, I heard it wrong.
