I am waiting for Henry to finish his dialysis treatment, he had been doing four exchanges a day but I have noticed he increased to five.
Good try, both of you. I know this was a tough one. But there are problems with both answers.
Here is a possible solution:
1. dependent clause in the past perfect progressive:
Although my friend had been worrying...
2. Dependent clause in the past perfect:
...that he had not studied enough...
3. Independent clause in the simple present:
he always does well on exams.
Final sentence:
Although my friend had been worrying that he had not studied enough, he always does well on exams.
