What clearly shows the need to understand a child's mind in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Kezia’s loving intention and deep fear of her father

Kezia’s behaviour presents two feelings that seem opposite but exist together: she loves her father and is also deeply afraid of him. She carefully makes a pin-cushion for his birthday, showing a child’s desire to please and express affection. Yet, because she does not understand his stern manner, she trembles before him and interprets his anger as proof that he does not love her. When she tears the papers containing his speech, the punishment intensifies her fear, although her action was not malicious. This contrast demonstrates why adults must look at a child’s intention, anxiety, and limited understanding rather than judging only the outward act. Option D includes both essential sides of Kezia’s mind; the other options do not explain this psychological conflict.
