Through what is father's hidden love understood in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: When he comforts Kezia during her nightmare

The father's hidden love is understood through his caring response to Kezia's nightmare. Although he usually appears stern, he notices her fear, takes responsibility for comforting her, and lets her sleep beside him. This quiet care reveals affection that he does not express through playful conversation or frequent praise. Thus, option A is correct. His scolding over the speech and the torn papers shows strictness, not the clearest evidence of hidden love. Macdonald's play with his children illustrates openly expressed affection in another family; it may help Kezia compare relationships, but it does not itself reveal what her father feels. The story's key insight is that love can sometimes be concealed beneath a disciplined exterior.
