IMO the correct answer is option D

Although one should exercise regularly, yet one must definitely avoid overexertion and dehydration.

A.  Although  one should exercise regularly,  yet  one: (Avoid using yet, nevertheless, but, still etc. with "Although" in the subordinate clause, as such a construction is redundant)

B. Although one should exercise regularly,  they :(Usage of they is incorrect)

C. One should exercise regularly, yet one: ("Yet" doesn't bring in the contrast required here)

D. Although one should exercise regularly, he: This construction brings out the contrast nicely but usage of "one" in place of "he" would be better. I am not sure though, waiting for OA. Will go with this option for time being.

E.  Although  one should exercise regularly,  but  one: (Same as option A)

Nidzo · Answer

A. Although one should exercise regularly, yet one
 The use of 'although' and 'yet' make this choice redundant. Incorrect.

B. Although one should exercise regularly, they
 There is a disagreement in pronouns in this choice. 'They' is plural, while it refers back to the singular 'one'. Incorrect.

C. One should exercise regularly, yet one
 Correct answer. This choice gets rid of the redundancy by excluding 'although', and uses 'one' throughout.

D. Although one should exercise regularly, he
 This choice like D has a pronoun disagreement. 'One', as a pronoun, only pairs with itself. Incorrect

E. Although one should exercise regularly, but one
 'Although' and 'but' do not agree in this choice. Incorrect.

Answer C

PyjamaScientist · Answer

Although one should exercise regularly, yet one  must definitely avoid overexertion and dehydration.

A. Although one should exercise regularly, yet one
  Both "although" and "yet" can not be used simultaneously in a sentence to depict a single thought shift. Wrong.
 B. Although one should exercise regularly, they
  "They"? What's the noun antecedent of "they" here? None. Wrong.
  C. One should exercise regularly, yet one   Correctly shows the intended shift of the sentence and gets rid of the extra contrast word "although". And though it may not sound the best. It is the best option among the given choices. Correct.
 D. Although one should exercise regularly, he
  "He" is a male-pronoun word. There should be a male entity to which "he" can refer. Wrong.
 E. Although one should exercise regularly, but one  Same error as (A). Wrong.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

Although one should exercise regularly, yet one  must definitely avoid overexertion and dehydration.

A. Although one should exercise regularly, yet one

No, that's not it.

Using both  Although  and  yet , which are both opposition words, creates redundancy.

What helps you identify this error is the following Stop Sign:

Though/Although/Even though/Despite/In spite of... later followed by but/yet/however/still/nevertheless

B. Although one should exercise regularly, they

Not quite.

Although this answer choice corrects the original Redundancy error by removing the word  yet , which is unnecessary because the sentence has another opposition word,  although , it is still grammatically incorrect: the pronoun  they  refers to one but does not agree with it as  one  is singular and  they  is plural.

The pronoun  one  agrees with itself only.

What helps you identify this question as a Pronoun question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:

Every pronoun in the underlined part of the sentence or after it

C. One should exercise regularly, yet one

This answer choice corrects the original Redundancy by removing  Although  and keeping  yet . Since both are opposition words, using them to refer to the same relationship in a sentence creates redundancy.

D. Although one should exercise regularly, he

Not really.

Although this answer choice corrects the original Redundancy error by removing the word  yet , which is unnecessary because the sentence has another opposition word,  although , it is still grammatically incorrect. The pronoun  he  can refer to human male nouns, but there's no such noun in the sentence.

The pronoun  one  agrees with itself only.

What helps you identify this question as a Pronoun question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:

Every pronoun in the underlined part of the sentence or after it

E. Although one should exercise regularly, but one

Not exactly.

This answer choice incorrectly replaces one redundant opposition word ( yet ) for another ( but ). Using both  Although  and  but , which are both opposition words, creates redundancy.

What helps you identify this error is the following Stop Sign:

Though/Although/Even though/Despite/In spite of... later followed by but/yet/however/still/nevertheless
