Question

complete the sentence. mitchell would make a superb mayoral candidate because he is engaging, ____________, and always strives for excellence. thoughtful is thoughtful

Explanation:

The sentence uses parallel structure, listing adjectives to describe Mitchell. The existing items are "engaging" (adjective) and "always strives for excellence" (verb phrase, but the first two items in the list before "and" should be adjectives for consistency). "thoughtful" is an adjective that fits the parallel structure, while "is thoughtful" introduces a verb which breaks the pattern.

Answer:

thoughtful
