What experiences formed Kezia's fear in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: From father's seriousness and punishment

Kezia’s fear develops from repeated experiences with her father’s stern manner. His serious expression and formal behaviour make her nervous whenever he is near. She also remembers being punished after tearing the paper into pieces while trying to make a pin-cushion for his birthday. She had not intended to be naughty, but the punishment made her feel that he would notice only her mistake, not her loving purpose.

These experiences create a frightening picture of him in her mind. Macdonald’s play, Grandmother’s affection, and Alice’s comfort do not produce her fear; they provide comparison, support, or relief. Choice A is therefore correct because it identifies both the father’s seriousness and the punishment as the main sources. The answer also shows why her later discovery of his affection becomes so important.
