Treating father's seriousness as lovelessness shows which limitation of Kezia?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: She could not understand the silent expression of love
Kezia’s early judgment is limited because she equates visible strictness with an absence of affection. She notices her father’s serious manner, loud voice and demanding presence, but cannot yet interpret the quiet care behind them. Her age and fear prevent her from understanding that a parent may love a child without constant playfulness or verbal tenderness. The later scene, in which her father comforts her after the nightmare, corrects this mistaken assumption. Option D is correct because it identifies her difficulty in reading silent love. The other options do not explain her misunderstanding.
