Answer 1

Answer:

A. To take him on as a "lover" for the sake of fashion.

Lady Teazle:

• Young, pretty, headstrong and intelligent, Lady Teazle is the young wife of Sir Peter Teazle.

• Although she was raised in the countryside, she has quickly adopted city manners, learning how the gossip mill operates from a group of high-society gossips led by Lady Sneerwell.

• She and Sir Peter argue all the time, often over how much money he allows her, as Lady Teazle wishes to spend huge sums on flowers, carriages, and other luxuries.
