How can the father's silence be seen with empathy in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It may be connected with tiredness and inability to express feelings

The governing concept is interpreting behaviour in context rather than making an absolute judgement. The father’s silence may appear cold to Kezia, but an empathetic reader considers that he works hard, may be physically tired and may not know how to communicate affection openly. The later scene, in which he protects and comforts Kezia, supports this more balanced interpretation. Hence option A is correct. Option B is too absolute because silence is not always hatred. Options C and D have no textual basis: the father has not forgotten Kezia, and the story does not present his silence as fear of Mr Macdonald. Empathy searches for a reasonable human explanation without denying the child’s fear.
