How does empathy also guide the reader's response toward the father in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The reader sees both his sternness and affection together

The governing concept is balanced reader response. The narrative first presents the father through Kezia’s frightened viewpoint, so readers notice his loud voice, strictness, and intimidating authority. Later, his care during the nightmare supplies evidence that he is not simply cruel: he protects Kezia and gives her comfort, even though he expresses love awkwardly. Empathy therefore encourages readers to hold two truths together—his sternness and his affection. Option B is correct. Option A is too extreme, while C changes the focus to Kezia’s responsibility and D incorrectly elevates the grandmother to the central role.
