How does empathy prevent the father’s character from becoming flat in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It shows both sternness and tenderness inside him

A flat character is presented with only one dominant quality, but the father is revealed through contrasting actions and circumstances. Kezia first experiences his stern voice and strict behaviour, so he appears frightening. Later, his response to her nightmare exposes tenderness, concern, fatigue, and a desire to protect her. Empathy encourages the reader to consider both the harm caused by his harshness and the affection beneath it. Therefore, option B is correct. The story does not turn him into a comic figure or a perfect ideal; instead, it presents him as complex and human.
