Please check it. I'll hand it in.

During the previous lesson we faced a one strange quention concerning Eric Gorin, a guy who had had a strange/interesting summer before an interview at Columbia University. In other words, the task is to decide which of the two opinions I share:
- the first: Eric is an arrogant & ambitious man.
- the second: Eric is a modest & humble person (this expression doesn't quite make sense, do you mean looking at everything as it appears on the surface or looking deeper for meaning?) looking at everything on the face of it.
Taking into consideration the months that he spent traveling about the world searching for bed & breakfasts in order to stay somewhere till September, I’d say that he is neither arrogant because he did some work (including manual work) without asking for any money nor humble because he was (not entirely sure about the meaning on this one either) considered to be a great physicist by one of the most famous universities.
So I crossed out these adjectives and it leaves only two: modest & ambitious. It’s a combination of the opinions but no one can be only bad or only good.
