prosperous, eager, and hopeful
overworked, underpaid, and disenfranchised
powerful and full of national pride

Explanation:

During the Industrial Revolution in England, working people faced harsh conditions: they endured extremely long work hours (12-16 hour days, 6-7 days a week), earned very low wages that often could not support a family, and had no political rights (most were disenfranchised, unable to vote) to advocate for better conditions. The other options do not reflect the historical reality of their experiences.

Answer:

overworked, underpaid, and disenfranchised
