Used to state something that seems true based on what is visible, without being fully certain.
“It appears that the shipment will probably arrive late this week.”
“It appears that the two hikers are going to take the wrong trail.”
Use 'it appears that' in Task 4 when you want to sound slightly more formal and cautious about a prediction, especially if the picture's outcome isn't perfectly clear. For example: 'It appears that the customer is unhappy with the service.' This phrase is a good alternative to 'it looks like' and helps diversify your vocabulary during the one-minute response.
Synonyms: it seems that, it looks like, apparently
