1.   A desk chair was tipped on its side, a trash can was overturned, a rug was askew, and papers were strewn around the room.

2.   All my desk drawers were open and papers were strewn carelessly on the floor as if someone were looking for ... something ...

3.   Paper was strewn around the training camp site.

4.   Personal belongings strewn across the asphalt including an olive military jacket, a backpack, a skullcap and identity papers were strewn across the asphalt.
