Using filler words such as like and basically can make Thomas appear unprofessional and lacking in confidence. Sounding enthusiastic and interested while still being sincere will show that he is excited about the opportunity and respectful towards the interviewer. Avoiding overconfidence is also important as it can come across as arrogant, but this does not mean he should avoid being confident altogether. Doing all of the options given is not the best choice as some contradict each other.
