"This little item seems to produce a lot of excitement."

Not one item seemed to be out of its place.

Many items seemed to come in pairs, one placed on either side of something grotesque.

The items, to the best of his knowledge, did not seem to be useful as a unit.

Except for the knife and the lighter, the items seemed to be useless.

Funny how similar the items in the piles all seem to be.

Each item seems to be incomplete without all the others.

Every little item seemed of the utmost importance to him.

Every other item on the list seemed suddenly more pressing.

But one item seemed of such interest now that neither child looked up.
