Explanation:

To achieve an objective tone, we need to use neutral, factual language.

• For the first blank, "unskilled employees" is more neutral than "wretched workers" (which is emotive).
• For the second blank, "labored" is a neutral term for working, while "struggled" has a more emotional connotation.
• For the third blank, "in dangerous conditions" is a factual description, whereas "while risking grave injury" is more dramatic.

Answer:

In the early days of the Industrial Revolution, unskilled employees often labored for long hours in dangerous conditions.
