Answer
A
fourteen to sixteen hour work days
B
five day work weeks
C
child labor protection laws
D
unlivable wages
E
lack of personal protective equipment

Explanation

Factory workers in the late 1800s often faced very long shifts, received wages too low to live on, and worked without adequate protective equipment. These conditions made work exhausting, financially difficult, and dangerous. A five-day work week and child labor protection laws would not have contributed to poor working conditions.
