The underlined part of the sentence 'doing worried young people' consists of verbs, adjectives and nouns.
The word 'doing' is a verb. The words 'worried' and 'young' are adjectives. The word 'people' is a noun.
In a grammatically correct sentence, the adjective comes after the verb, i.e., the word 'doing' would be the first word in the order. This eliminates A and B as they both start with adjectives.
There are times when one adjective is not enough to describe the noun or the subject that is performing the action. When two or more adjectives are used together, as in the given sentence, then there is a specific order that is usually followed. The order is: Determiner and Quantities (a, an, etc), Opinion (pretty, etc), Size (big, etc), Shape (circle, etc), Age (old, etc), Color (yellow, etc), Origin (American, etc), Material (cotton, etc) and Purpose.
According to this order, 'worried' (opinion) would come before 'young' (age). All the adjectives have to be placed together. They are together describing the noun which has to be placed after it. This eliminates C as it places 'worried' after 'young'. It also eliminates D as it places the word 'people' (noun) in between the adjectives, which would make the sentence wrong.
So the correct order would be 'doing worried young people'.
Since all the given options have been eliminated, the only option left to be the correct answer is option (E), i.e., 'No improvement'.
Hence, the correct option is (E).
