If the father were only stern, which basis of empathy in the story would become weak?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The father’s hidden affection

The question uses a hypothetical condition to test the foundation of Kezia’s changed understanding. Her empathy becomes possible because she discovers that her father’s stern exterior conceals affection and concern. His comforting behaviour after the nightmare provides evidence that he is not simply cruel or emotionless. If he were only stern, there would be no loving action for Kezia to reinterpret, and the emotional movement from fear to trust would lose its basis. Therefore, option B is correct. Her age, the household setting, and the grandmother’s advice may influence the context, but none supplies the decisive evidence of affection.
