one question for Kaplan, I can not get what it explain!

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, a test developed in the 1930s to assess character, attitudes, and behavior, is finally being revised, after many attacks recently as dated and culturally biased.

(A) is finally being revised, after many attacks recently as dated and culturally biased

(B) has recently been attacked as dated and culturally biased and is finally being revised

(C) is finally under revision for receiving much recent attack as dated and culturally biased

(D) was finally revised recently because it is being attacked as dated and culturally biased

(E) is finally to be revised after recent attacks as dated and culturally biased

ans. B

Listen for things that sound funny in the original sentence, and find the choice that’s most precise. In (A),“attacks recently” is illogical and awkward-sounding. The test isn’t under revision “FOR receiving attack,” in (C). It’s under revision AFTER receiving attack. In (D), it seems as though the attack happens before and after the revision. In (E), it’s not clear that it’s the test that’s being attacked. (B) makes the sequence of events clear: the test has recently been attacked and is finally being revised.

A为什么很荒谬呢？我怎么也看不明白，哪位NN能帮忙看看吗？

A. after many attacks recently...

after:  1) 如果是 prep. 那么 attacks 是名词，recently adv. 修饰不对，错

          2）如果是 conj. 那么 attacks 是名词做主语，没有谓语和宾语，句子结构不完整。错

改为 after many recent attacks as dated and biased 会好一些。

我试试: 最近被攻击(理由是它过时并有文化偏见), 最后它被修改
