Answer 1

Answer:

C. He refuses to listen to Joseph’s explanation and leaves arguing with him.

• After discovering that Lady Teazle came to Joseph’s house with the intention of having an affair with him, Sir Peter is deeply shocked and hurt.

• When Joseph tries to explain the situation and justify Lady Teazle's actions, Sir Peter refuses to listen to him. Instead of trying to understand or resolve the situation, Sir Peter becomes even more upset and leaves the scene, arguing with Joseph.

• This reaction highlights Sir Peter’s emotional turmoil and his inability to calmly process the situation.

• His anger and disappointment prevent him from hearing Joseph's side of the story, and he storms off, continuing to argue with him as they leave the stage.
