Father keeping Kezia close at night shows which feeling?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Empathy and protection

When Kezia is frightened by a nightmare, her father keeps her close and allows her to sleep beside him. This action gives her comfort and protection, while also showing that he understands her fear. It reveals empathy and affection beneath his normally strict exterior, so option D is correct. Neglect would involve ignoring her distress, whereas the father actively responds to it. Jealousy is unrelated to the event, and anger would be shown through punishment or harsh rejection rather than comforting closeness. The incident is important because it changes Kezia’s interpretation of her father: she begins to realise that his stern behaviour does not cancel his love. The governing concept is that protective, reassuring action is evidence of emotional care, especially when it is directed toward someone who is frightened or vulnerable.
