How does Kezia's character show children's emotional receptivity?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: She feels fear, love and insecurity intensely
The governing concept is emotional receptivity: children often absorb experiences deeply and respond strongly to affection, fear, rejection and reassurance. Kezia is sensitive to her father’s tone, silence and stern appearance, so she feels anxiety and insecurity around him. At the same time, she wants his approval, tries to prepare a gift and responds warmly when he protects her after the nightmare. Her feelings are not shallow or absent; they change as new experiences give her a fuller understanding of him. Option B is correct because it includes the range of emotions that shapes her character. The other options deny the very sensitivity and family attachment that the story repeatedly presents.
