Read the excerpt from "Why I Wrote 'The Yellow Wallpaper.'" Then, using the remnants of intelligence that remained, and helped by a wise friend, I cast the noted specialist’s advice to the winds and went to work again—work, the normal life of every human being; work, in which is joy and growth and service, without which one is a pauper and a parasite—ultimately recovering some measure of power. Which social attitude of Gilman’s era does this excerpt demonstrate?

Working gives people a sense of competence and control.
Explanation:
The excerpt is from the short story 'The Yellow Wallpaper' by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, first published in January 1892.
The story demonstrates the social attitude of people in that era.
Working gives people a sense of competence and control.
- Work or employment brings joy, growth and service to a human being. Without work, one would be a pauper and would have to depend on others for his survival. This attitude is evident from the phrase 'ultimately recovering some measure of power' which shows that one feels worthy when employed and earning, so that he has a sense of control.
