What deeper truth does the relation between the stern father and the frightened child reveal in the end?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Love may sometimes remain hidden behind fear

The governing idea is that outward behaviour does not always reveal a person’s complete feelings. Kezia initially sees her father as frightening because he is strict, speaks sharply, and appears distant. However, after her nightmare, he comforts her, carries her to his bed, and allows her to sleep beside him. His tiredness and care help her recognise the affection hidden beneath his stern manner. Therefore, option C is correct: fear and love can exist together when love is expressed indirectly. Option A is too extreme, while B and D make absolute claims that the story does not support.
