Feedback
✅ The adjectives "patient" and "knowledgeable" require another adjective ("creative") to maintain parallelism.
✅ "Lifting" and "running" are gerunds, so "practicing" maintains the parallel structure.
"To brainstorm" and "to draft" are infinitives, so "to revise" is the correct answer.
✅ "To arrive" and "to complete" are infinitives, so "to communicate" is the correct choice.
✅ "Increasing" and "expanding" are gerunds, so "hiring" (also a gerund) maintains parallelism.
✅ "Drink" and "read" are base verbs, so "exercise" (another base verb) is the correct answer.
✅ The verbs "presented" and "used" are in the past tense, so "maintained" must also be in past tense for parallel structure.
✅ "Efficiency" and "dedication" are nouns, so "professionalism" (another noun) is correct.
✅ "Engaging" and "thought-provoking" are adjectives, so "entertaining" keeps the sentence parallel.
✅ "Exciting" and "affordable" are both adjectives, keeping the sentence parallel. The other choices mix different parts of speech, breaking the structure.
