What is the difference between three sentences?
Solution 1:
He walked into the room and noticed that his TV set had sprouted hands and arms and was holding up a book to read it. 'How unusual', he thought.
He was a very odd person in having independently directable eyes, like certain lizards, and he kept one eye trained on his TV while using the other eye to read his book.
By prior arrangement with the TV station, an announcer was holding the book up to the TV camera and turning the pages slowly, one by one, so that he (the TV viewer) was able to read the book in this unusual way.
