What does Grandmother's character indicate in the family?

Correct answer: Effort to connect relationships

The governing concept is the role of a caring elder as a bridge within a family. Grandmother notices that Kezia is afraid of her father and tries to bring them closer by encouraging interaction. Her presence supports the possibility of understanding rather than separation. Therefore, option A is correct. She does not try to break relationships, abandon the child, or increase Kezia’s distance from her father; those options reverse her function in the story. Although the decisive emotional change occurs during the father’s night-time care, the grandmother’s earlier efforts help create the family context in which Kezia can observe and rethink her father’s behaviour. Her character represents mediation, concern, and family connection.
