Number 6 is plain wrong. Hardly working means barely working. Yet the replacement word they want us to use - hard - changes the sentence completely because hardly working is the opposite of working hard and so can't be used for a replacement if you want the sentence to retain its meaning.

the sentence puts the "hard" at the end, working hardly wouldnt mean the same hardly working. that one is much so a "do you know the difference between these two words" the same way people mess up lose and loose.
