analisou profundamente/abrangente mente.


Explanation:
"Seu olhar penetrante analisou profundamente toda a sala/ambiente"

"swept" significa varrer, mas aqui não é usado de forma literal, ele simboliza o ato de que ela observou o ambiente com detalhamento, fez uma "varredura" visual. Dando a entender pelo sentido da frase, que ela analisou com seus olhos lentamente cada canto do quarto/ambiente.

Example sentence(s):
  • analisou/observou/verificou/penetrou com o olhar.
