Answer 1

The best response is: The clock radio is functional but fails to communicate clearly.

This is because, while the clock radio successfully performs its functions (communicating the time, playing the radio, and sounding the alarm), it does not adequately communicate the time at night due to the lack of backlighting on the numbers.
