이 글은 무엇에 대한 글입니까?
(What is this writing/paragraph all about?)
[글=writing]
저는 불량품 고르는 일을 합니다. 그동안 작업장이 너무 어둡고 외풍이 심해서 일하기가 힘들었습니다. 하지만 오늘 작업장에 새 전등과 난로가 설치되었 습니다. 이제는 편하게 일을 할 수 있을 것 같습니다.
I am a person who picks up inferior/defective goods. For a certain period of time, a workplace became hard [for them?] for it is severely dark and dry. (?) However, 3 sets of light and a set of heater was installed. Now, it seems like they are comfortable with their work.
[불량품=defective goods; 그동안= meanwhile; 힘들다=hard, difficult; 어둡다=dark; 외풍=draught; 전등=lamp; 난로=heater; 설치되다=to install; 같아요=states assumption*]
*I'm not sure what 심해서 was referring to.
① 업무 내용 교체 ② 야간 근무 교대
③ 작업 환경 개선 ④ 근무 시간 변경
1. Change of work content (내용=content; 교체=change, substitution)
2.Overnight work shift (교대=rotation)
3. Improvement of workplace environment (개선=improvement; 환경=environment)
4. Change of working hours (변경=change; alteration)
* Is 교체 and 변경 the same?For further reference, I uploaded the screenshot of the question:

And (3) is the correct answer, right?
I'm not so sure though of the context of the question. :)

For a certain period of time, a workplace became hard [for them?] for it is severely dark and dry.
(For a certain period of time, a workplace was too dark and windy so it was hard to work.)
Now, it seems like they are comfortable with their work.
(Now, it seems like I can work comfortably.)
심해서 = severe
교체 usually means 'replace' 변경 usually 'change' but yeah almost same I guess.
새 전등 means 'new set of lights'

Here's a clarification of the subjects of the sentences, as you seem to be confused about them.
1 저는 불량품 고르는 일을 합니다. "I".
=> I do the work of defect screening.
2 그동안 작업장이 너무 어둡고 외풍이 심해서 일하기가 힘들었습니다. (No subject - "I" is implied)
=> Until now, it's been hard for me to work because the workplace was too dark and drafty.
3 하지만 오늘 작업장에 새 전등과 난로가 설치되었 습니다. "new set of lights and heaters".
=> However, a new set of lights and heaters have been installed today.
4 이제는 편하게 일을 할 수 있을 것 같습니다. (No subject - "I" is implied)
=> It appears I can work comfortably from now on.
Unlike most European languages, dropping the subject is very common in Korean when it's known from the context.
This is particularly so when the subject is a person.
The first person "I" is probably more often dropped than included in conversation.
And the second person is not much different, maybe even more so because there's no convenient word for "you".

심해서 = too strong, too severe...generally too much of anything
Adverbial phrase. it means something of an excessive quality/amount/feature but in a "negative" way. Just imagine adding 'too' in front of the surrounded expressions.
그 친구는 하는 짓이 너무 '심해' = He's doing it too much *sometimes it can be used without the target adjective.
이 벽은 '심하게' 두꺼워 = the wall is too thick
for words like 변경/교체 which is made of Chinese letters , you can look up each letters from the dictionary for better understanding.
변경 變 change 更 more/better = means something is changed, but not entirely
교체 交 interact 替 change = whole part is just replaced or exchanged
nowadays many Koreans tend to use both words interchangeably since we don't use Chinese characters as much as we did before thus the majority doesn't know the exact meaning of each word. this is just an FYI

Yes, (3) is the answer.
작업장(일하는 곳)의 환경(어둡고, 바람이 들어옴)이 좋지 않았는데 새 전등과 난로가 설치되어서 작업환경이 개선되었다는 얘기입니다 :)
