Correct Answer: continued to study for his upcoming exam
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The original sentence uses the past tense "was exhausted," indicating an action completed in the past. However, the verb "continues" in the original sentence is in the present tense, which creates a tense inconsistency. "Continued to study" maintains the past tense throughout the sentence, ensuring grammatical consistency.
So, the correct sentence is: Although he was exhausted from working all day, John continued to study for his upcoming exam.
