Answer 1

Answer:

B. To recover from illness and find peace

At the beginning of Wuthering Heights, Mr. Lockwood arrives in Thrushcross Grange, a quiet, rural estate in the Yorkshire moors, because he's looking for solitude and recovery, both physical and emotional. He mentions needing a break from society — a kind of self-imposed retreat from the bustle of city life.

Little does he know, of course, that he’s about to get swept into the intense and stormy history of the Earnshaws, the Lintons, and Heathcliff. So much for peace!
