Kezia's empathy leads the reader to which unseen truth about her father?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: His hidden tenderness

The important literary concept here is characterisation through actions. The father may appear large, stern, and frightening from a child’s limited viewpoint, but his behaviour during Kezia’s nightmare reveals a different side. He takes responsibility for her immediate safety, comforts her, and lets her remain close to him. These actions provide evidence of tenderness that is not obvious in his everyday speech. Empathy enables Kezia, and therefore the reader, to look beyond the external image and recognise his caring nature. Option B is correct. Social status, artistic talent, and a wish to travel are not developed as the hidden truth in this episode and have no bearing on the emotional resolution.
