working in the mines again. He hurried down to breakfast, hoping his

D. A working class boy living in a future setting

Answer 1

D. A working class boy living in a future setting

Explanations:

In the passage, it says, "...robotic voice...," and, "It was hard to believe there was a time when humans controlled computers." Since this has never happened in history before, it must be set in the future. It also says, "...working in the mines again,"so he must be the working class.
