How do Alice and Grandmother support Kezia in different ways?

Correct answer: Alice comforts her in fear and Grandmother moves her toward communication

The governing concept is the contrasting support offered by secondary characters. Alice is Kezia’s immediate caregiver, so she helps during frightening moments and provides practical comfort when the child is distressed. Grandmother plays a more guiding role: she tries to reduce the emotional distance between Kezia and her father, encourages contact, and helps Kezia see him more fully. Therefore option B correctly assigns a comforting role to Alice and a relationship-building role to Grandmother. Option A is opposite to Grandmother’s intention, C invents an action, and D confuses the characters with unrelated events.
