Option 3: 3
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : The sentence can be improved using the second option.
Latest means the most recent or the most up-to-date, which is the appropriate word to describe the edition of the Shakespearean play that was originally published in 1603.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- Later: It refers to a time in the future or after a specific point in time, and it doesn't fit the context of an edition of a play.
- Latter: It is used to refer to the second of two things mentioned and doesn't apply to the context of the sentence.
Therefore, the correct sentence is, "This is the latest edition of the Shakespearean play which was originally published in 1603".
