Question

the house of lords
we have great reason to believe we shall be every day
in a worse condition than we are, and less able to
defend ourselves, and therefore we do earnestly wish
we might be so happy as to find a remedy before it be
too late for us to contribute to our own deliverance.
—invitation to the prince of orange,
june 30, 1688
read the underlined sentence.
what will happen if the prince waits to act?
he will gain more support from the people of
england.
they will be better able to defend themselves.
the people will be happier about the change.
the lords fear they will not be able to help him.

Explanation:

The underlined sentence states the Lords fear it will become too late for them to contribute to their own deliverance if action is delayed. This matches the idea that they worry they can no longer assist the prince. The other options contradict the text's concern about worsening conditions and reduced ability to act.

Answer:

The lords fear they will not be able to help him.
