Answer:

3. Words like “injury” and “misery” contribute to a sorrowful tone.

Explanation:

That's a poem by William Blake. In this poem the author portrays the life suffered by the chimney sweepers who had a very sad life. Most of the times these cleaners were children and this type of work, besides being very dangerous, was very poorly paid, it was almost a slavery. For this reason, Blake wanted to emphasize the sadness of these children's lives by using the words "injury" and "misery" in the poem.
