Parallel Structure.

Concerning Parallel Structures. Example of non-Parallel Structure: The boy like swimming, to eat, and is always on time.

One of these sentences does not have parallel structure, but I just don't see it. There is no answer key. i guess it's suppose to be painfully obvious. 

– Aldus was a poor student because he waited until the last
minute to study, completed his lab problems carelessly, and
lacked motivation.

– Aldus was a poor student because he waited until the last
minute to study, was always completing his lab problems
carelessly, and his motivation was low.
