How to use "Suspiciously" in context?
Suspiciously, the odour of gas emanating from the industrial refinery was unmistakable. The unmistakable smell of gas meant one thing: an emergency situation was brewing. The refinery workers, understandably alarmed by the gas smell, evacuated the area and called the fire department. The fire department arrived on the scene and assessed the situation. It was quickly determined that the gas smelled suspiciously like ammonia and, as such, the fire department called in the hazmat team to investigate.
