The lunchroom tables were clean except for three plates and five napkins.

Which description best describes this sentence?
It does not use enough precise language, and the reader could get confused about what is happening in the sentence. It uses precise language by indicating there were three plates and five napkins that needed to be cleaned. It does not use domain-specific language, and the reader could get confused about what is happening in the sentence. It is grammatically correct, but the parallel structure can be called into question in the second half of the sentence.
