Το κενό «I can speak ___» θα μπορούσε θεωρητικά να είναι «Greek» (μητρική γλώσσα), αλλά στο πλαίσιο αίτησης σε ελληνικό θέρετρο που ζητά αγγλόφωνους hosts, το «English» ταιριάζει καλύτερα ως απόδειξη προσόντος.

Κριτήρια αξιολόγησης:

Το κενό «I am ___ years old» ΔΕΝ μπορεί να προσδιοριστεί επακριβώς — το CV δίνει μόνο «DATE OF BIRTH: 198...» (σκόπιμα κρυμμένο), άρα η ηλικία παραμένει αόριστη/δεν απαντιέται με ακρίβεια από το δοσμένο υλικό.
Ομοίως, οι ακριβείς χρονολογίες («When I was discharged... in », «From to present») δεν προσδιορίζονται πλήρως, αφού το CV δίνει μόνο «199...» — καταγράφεται ρητά ως κενό της πηγής, δεν επινοείται αριθμός.
