What did father show by keeping Kezia close at night?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Affection and safety

The governing concept is the contrast between outward behaviour and inner feeling in a parent-child relationship. Kezia initially believes that her father is frightening because he speaks sternly, appears serious, and expects obedience. However, after her nightmare, he takes her to his bed, keeps her close, and helps her feel safe. His action reveals affection and protective care, so option D is correct. Strictness is a plausible distractor because it describes Kezia’s earlier impression of him, not the meaning of his night-time behaviour. Neglect and impatience are contradicted by the attention, patience, and physical comfort he gives her.
