Answer 1

Answer:

B. She hears someone knocking and wants to avoid being seen.

• Lady Sneerwell leaves Joseph's house because there is a knocking at the door, and Joseph believes it may be his uncle arriving.

• To avoid being seen and to maintain the secrecy of their scheming, Lady Sneerwell decides to leave, as her presence could create suspicion or reveal their conspiracy.
