I don't mean to spoil the party here, but... "Seems awkward" translates to "I have no idea what's actually wrong with these choices".

Not only is "awkward" darn near impossible for non-native speakers to detect, but it's also not actually an error. Make sure you can find something that's actually wrong with the wrong answers.

Many times I see lot of posts from the members saying its "awkward" even I can't understand what is awkward. Its style, grammar,idiom or parallelism. It is always better to point out the specific error sothat other members like me can learn. I know those statement sounds awkward but being as a non native all of them sound awkward.
