À propos de 見える
In the same way that 聞こえる is used to describe things that are 'audible', 見える can be used to describe things that are 'visible'. 見える itself is an intransitive verb, meaning that the object that is 'visible' will be marked with が.
When using 見える, (A) will always be followed by が. However, the 'way that something looks' will be marked adverbially. This means that an い-Adjective will be changed to its く form, and な-Adjectives/nouns will be followed by に.
This usage of 見える will be covered more in our focused lesson on this particular grammar structure.
Fun Fact
The primary difference between 見える, and 見られる (the potential form of 見る), is that 見える is used to identify things that do not require the active concentration of the spectator to be seen. In other words, seeing it is unavoidable (if looking in its direction of course). However, 見られる is used when the onlooker, is trying to concentrate on some specific object, and is referring to their 'ability' to see it.
Fun Fact
見える is also sometimes used to describe the 'sense' of sight, and refers to whether anything is visible at all for the speaker.

@pasi Thank you for your comment. I have rearranged the order of the sentences and review questions so that this particular example only appears after you have been reviewing the grammar point for some time. Cheers!

Sorry to trouble you once again, this is not strictly related to the grammar point but I was wondering why is “ハッキリ” written in katakana? I googled the meaning of the word and most examples seem to use hiragana and I couldn’t really find a reason for the katana…

@pasi Hey! This post on Japanese StackExchange does an excellent job of answering your question. In this case, it is like making the text bold or italicizing text in English; it is used for emphasis. Cheers!
