is thoughtful
thoughtful
submit
work it out
not feeling ready yet? these can help:
identify coordinating conjunctions
use the correct pair of correlative
use parallel structure

Explanation:

To maintain parallel structure, the blank needs an adjective that matches the structure of "engaging" (a descriptive adjective used to describe Eric). "Thoughtful" is an adjective, while "is thoughtful" adds a verb that breaks the parallel pattern set by "engaging" and the following phrase "always strives for excellence" (where the verb "strives" is already introduced for the final clause).

Answer:

thoughtful
