Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

To express that the Japanese are known for their strong work ethics, the phrase "hard-working people" should replace "hardly working people". "Hard working" is a compound adjective that describes people who work diligently and industriously.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The Japanese are hard-working people. "
