According to the story what is the first step toward empathy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Listening to and understanding the other person's feelings

The story suggests that empathy begins when a person tries to see beyond outward behaviour and understand another person’s feelings and circumstances. Kezia first notices only her father’s sternness, so she interprets him unfairly. After experiencing his comfort during the night, she recognizes his tiredness, responsibilities, and love. This movement from quick judgement to attentive understanding illustrates the first step toward empathy. Option B is therefore correct. Criticising faults and punishing mistakes prevent understanding, while comparing situations may oversimplify another person’s experience. Listening does not mean accepting every action blindly; it means seeking the feelings and reasons behind the action before forming a final judgement.
