What role does Grandmother play in Kezia's life?

Correct answer: Supportive and guiding

The governing concept is the role of a supportive family member in helping a child understand another person. Grandmother does not oppose Kezia or frighten her. Instead, she notices the distance between Kezia and her father and encourages Kezia to make a gift for him on his birthday. Her suggestion gives the child an opportunity to express affection, even though the plan later leads to the accidental tearing of the speech papers. She therefore acts as a guide and emotional support. Option A is correct. Options B and C contradict her caring influence, while D ignores her meaningful advice and involvement in Kezia's relationship with her father. Her role helps set the emotional events of the story in motion.
