Commas, And

[ahmadizat]

Consider the following:

he is the powerful, smart, agile athlete and great philosopher that we all look up to.

My question is:

A:

1-Does powerful and smart apply to (describe) both agile athlete and great philosopher ?

2-Or, Does powerful and smart apply to (describe) agile athlete only, and hence, great philosopher is another additional issue.

3-Or, do we consider each one separately:

He is the powerful + He is the smart + He is the agile athlete + He is the great philosopher

B:

"that we all look up to" refers to:

-the: great philosopher
-the: agile athlete and great philosopher
-the: powerful and smart and agile athlete and great philosopher


Thanks for reading.
