Tanto and poco can be adverbs, nouns and adjectives: in the first case they're invariable as they don't refer to any noun, in the second case they're male.

This is confusing because poco has not been defined in this way - I think of it as "a little"
I think "limpida" is more often used as a degree of brightness, as in "a bright light", "a clear day".
In the other hand, "chiara" is often used as a clarity degree of a method or explanation or the way something expressing.
Furthermore, what is wrong with the use of "non è molto chiara" rather than "è poco chiara" is already explained by senior Formica. :)

One time Duo indicated it was "non è poco chiara," but when I put that for my answer it indicated I got it wrong and that it was "non è molto chiara." Very confusing.
