English Sentence Correction & Common Errors

Choose the sentence with correct parallelism.

A The job requires patience, skill, and being creative.

B The job requires patience, skill, and creativity.

C The job requires patience, skilled, and creative.

D The job requires being patient, skill, and creativity.

All three items should be plain nouns (patience, skill, creativity) to match grammatically; "being creative" breaks the parallel noun structure.

If the first item in a list is a plain noun, every other item should be a plain noun too.
