Answer 2

Can he have made an impression of a scattered person?

The use of the modal verb "can" in this context suggests the possibility or likelihood of something happening in the past. In this case, the question is asking whether it is possible that he made an impression of a scattered person. The use of "can" in this context indicates the speaker's uncertainty or speculation about the past event.

The phrase "have made" is the present perfect form, which is used to indicate an action that was completed at some point in the past, with relevance to the present. In combination with "can," it suggests the possibility of the action occurring in the past.

The phrase "impression of a scattered person" implies that the person's behavior or demeanor gave the impression of being scattered or disorganized.

So, the question is essentially asking whether it is possible that he gave the impression of being scattered.
