Question 1HardLevel 14
Which order most correctly shows the development of Kezia's understanding?
Correct answer: C
At first, Kezia fears her father because of his stern manner and loud voice. After the pin-cushion incident, she misunderstands him as even harsher; however, staying with him while her mother is in hospital changes her view. When he comforts her after a nightmare, she recognises his hidden love. Option A is incorrect because the story begins with fear, not love. Exam tip: trace the sequence through Kezia’s changing feelings.
Which option most correctly gives the root cause of the father-daughter misunderstanding?
Correct answer: A
The governing idea is that misunderstanding grows when communication is limited and fear fills the gap. Kezia’s father is not shown expressing affection openly, and his serious manner makes her interpret him through a child’s anxious imagination. She therefore notices his authority and anger more easily than his hidden care. The father also does not initially explain himself in a way Kezia can understand. Option A correctly identifies both sides of the problem: his limited expression and her fear. The other options are incidental details with no causal power in the relationship. The later contrast with the affectionate Macdonald family helps Kezia revise her view, but it does not replace the central causes stated in option A.
What psychological sign is given by the butcher dream?
Correct answer: C
In the butcher dream, Kezia trembles with fear and begs her grandmother to save her. The dream symbolises the fear suppressed in her mind, especially her fear of her father and harsh discipline. The Macdonald family's happiness relates to Kezia's comparison of family life, not to the dream. Exam tip: Link a character's dreams and imaginings to hidden emotions in literary questions.
What effect does the night experience have on Kezia's earlier belief?
Correct answer: D
The governing idea is that direct experience can correct a child’s mistaken interpretation of an adult’s behaviour. Before the night episode, Kezia associates her father with fear because he is stern, speaks loudly and punishes her. When she wakes from a frightening dream, she seeks help and finds that her father is capable of comforting and protecting her. He lets her lie beside him, and his presence gives her warmth and security. This does not erase his strictness, but it changes the meaning Kezia attaches to it. She begins to see the tired, hardworking man behind the frightening image. Therefore option D is correct. The other choices describe continued fear or permanent rejection, neither of which occurs.
Kezia's character shows which deep quality of a child's mind?
Correct answer: B
Kezia fears her father because his manner appears harsh to her, yet she also feels love and attachment towards him. When he comforts her after a nightmare, she begins to recognise his affection. Thus, her character shows a child's deep sensitivity, in which love and fear can exist together. Option A is incorrect because children are often highly sensitive to emotions. Exam tip: mention both Kezia's fear of her father and her later understanding of his love.
