How does empathy develop in Kezia's story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: From misunderstanding to understanding

Kezia’s emotional development follows a clear movement from misunderstanding to understanding. At the beginning, she sees her father through a child’s frightened eyes. His stern face, loud voice, and punishment make her believe that he is unkind and does not love her. She does not yet know about his work, tiredness, or quiet concern. As she observes him more carefully and receives his protection at night, her earlier judgment changes. She understands that his strict appearance hides affection.

Option A is correct because the story traces this change in her thinking. It does not describe a movement from friendship to enmity, joy to pride, or play to sleep. The important development is internal: Kezia learns to question her first impression and consider another person’s feelings. Her fear does not disappear because of a sudden speech; it lessens through experience and reflection. Thus, the story presents empathy as a gradual growth from a mistaken view towards a more balanced and compassionate understanding.
