The book's answer: Los pacientes están regular. No mejoran claramente.
My question: I don't understand the meaning of either sentence. What are they trying to say here?
My bad translation, but you might get the sense.

The patients are so-so. They are not getting better clearly.
Thanks to both of you. Sorry I'm so long in checking back. It's been a rough year at work.

Anyway - I follow all of your answers except this one. I can follow your explanation about the first sentence. But not the second. "They are not getting better clearly" makes no sense to me in English....... Is there a way you can explain the meaning without translating? It really is the word "claro/claramente/clearly" that is messing me up...

Thank you!
