Directions: A part of the sentence that has been underlined has an error. Select the option that is the most coherent and precise representation of the underlined part.

The recent formulated law has hardly done anything to emend the previous one except for changing its wording.

'Recent' is an adjective, but we need an adverb 'recently' to modify the participle 'formulated'. Options A and B incorrectly use the adjective 'recent'. Options C and E either change the word order or use passive voice incorrectly. Option D correctly places 'recently' before 'formulated' and keeps 'hardly done anything' in the correct position to maintain the intended meaning that the new law has accomplished very little.
