Which course of action most improves the following sentence?

"He was honest, hardworking and a regular customer at the neighborhood pub."
  1. Change neighborhood to neighbourhood.
  2. Insert a comma after hardworking.
  3. Change hardworking to hard working.
  4. Fix the parallel structure.
Explanation
Answer: D - The sentence is most improved by fixing its parallel structure. The first two descriptions are adjective, but the third is a noun. Changing all three to nouns or adjectives solves the problem. “He was an honest man, a hardworking employee and a regular customer at the neighborhood pub” is one example.
