How can the reader empathize with the father while still disagreeing with him?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: By understanding his tiredness and affection while questioning the harshness of his punishment

The governing concept is balanced empathy: understanding a person's feelings or circumstances does not require approving every action. Kezia is genuinely frightened by her father's stern voice and punishment, so the reader is right to question the emotional effect of his harshness. At the same time, the father is not shown as entirely uncaring; he works hard, feels tired, and later protects and comforts Kezia when she is afraid at night. These details reveal affection that he cannot express easily. Therefore, option C is correct because it holds sympathy and criticism together. Options A and B wrongly justify punishment or strictness without examining its effect, while D ignores Kezia's central emotional experience.
