"He knocked on the door and was surprisingly answered by Keira."
The sentence above does not seem correct to me.
He ... knocked on the door.
It, the door, was answered by Keira.
This surprised him.
This seems better. "He knocked on the door and was surprised when Keira answered." At least, to me, this one reads better, more natural.
Are both correct? If not, or yes, how would these two sentences be diagramed?
Any comments would be appreciated.
