Explanation:

To determine the sentence that best supports the author's primary attitude towards women's work, we analyze each option:

• Option A: It emphasizes that a woman's occupation is as laborious as that of almost any self - supporting female, directly relating to the nature of women's work and the author's view on its labor intensity.
• Option B: This sentence focuses on a woman's leisure - like moments on Monday and her thoughts of home, which is more about her non - work related moments rather than the author's attitude towards women's work.
• Option C: The sentence is incomplete, and from what is given, it seems to be about politeness rules, not related to women's work.

So, Option A is the best as it directly addresses the laborious nature of women's work, which is relevant to the author's attitude towards it.

Answer:

A. "Her real situation approaches neither one nor the other of the extremes. Her occupation is as laborious as that of almost any female who earns her own living" (Paragraph 1)
