Because of empathy how does the reader view the father's punishment in a balanced way?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The harshness of the punishment is acknowledged, but the father is not judged only by that incident

Option A is correct because an empathetic reading can recognise two truths at the same time. Kezia’s punishment is harsh, and the reader should understand the fear and hurt it causes her. However, the father’s later conduct, especially his willingness to hold and comfort her when she is tired and frightened, reveals that he is not defined entirely by that single act. A balanced judgement neither excuses the punishment nor turns the father into a completely cruel character. Option C is wrong because later affection does not erase earlier harm; B falsely claims that Kezia deliberately intended to hurt him; and D has no support in the story. The governing principle is fair character evaluation through evidence from different moments.
