我觉得这题考的是idiom, "seem"的用法。

根据朗文的解释，seem的语法如下：

Seem can be followed by an adjective or an adjective and noun : She seemed happy. | He seems a nice man.

Seem can also be followed by a verb in the infinitive : His story seems to be true. | You seem to think it's my fault.

!! Seem can be followed by as if or as though but not just by as : It seems a small thing (NOT it seems as a small thing), but it's very important. |It seemed as if he wanted us to leave (NOT it seemed as he wanted ...).
