This is not the same as "unclear". A sentence may be ambiguous AND clear, as strange as it might be
Let's take the sentence: "I am going down." In which way am I going down? If I am at the second floor and I am called from the first one, that basically means "I am coming." If I am phoning to someone and I am in a plane, the other party will be worried
Only the context makes the sentence clear in this case, but it is ambiguous.

Ok, I admit, I had a few minutes to kill so I took the test again while pretending to be Astro. I did it quite quickly (and therefore probably quite messy), and there are many questions whose I was not very sure about the answer, not to mention possible personal bias of course
Nevertheless I found out that the result could be a good description of our favorite hero
