Select the most appropriate adjectives to describe Barnabé's behaviour.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is an appropriate choice. Barnabé thinks that he has already got the internship position, saying "that's why you're hiring me." This suggests that he is very self-assured, and thinks a lot of himself. "Self-assured" shares a similar meaning with "confident".
This is not a suitable choice. Barnabé does not act as if he is nervous during his interview. On the contrary his manner (or behaviour) is "relaxed" and "self-assured". A "nervous" person is one who is anxious or easily agitated. Example: Crossing the street makes me nervous.
This is not a suitable choice. A "modest" person has a moderate estimation of their abilities. Barnabé does not show any signs of "modesty" in the dialogue, on the contrary he says he is "the best person for the job".
This is an appropriate choice. Barnabé says that he is Delavigne's "new intern" and "the best man for the job", which indicates that he has a very confident manner. Luna also notes that Barnabé is "certainly confident". A "confident" person is very sure of themself. The term is used in a negative way when describing Barnabé, although it can also be used positively: He is a very confident speaker and his presentations are very assured.
This is not a suitable choice. Barnabé does not show any signs of being "self-conscious". A "self-conscious" person is someone who is very aware of themself, and is embarrassed or timid as a result. Example: He was the only man in a group of 100 women, and he became very self-conscious.
