What increases when Kezia's feeling is not understood?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Fear and distance

Empathy means trying to understand another person’s feelings and point of view. In Kezia’s family situation, the adults do not always recognize how frightened and confused she feels. Her father’s strict manner frightens her, while her own innocent intention is not properly understood after the pin-cushion incident. When feelings remain unrecognized, the child cannot feel emotionally close or secure.

Consequently, fear grows and the relationship becomes distant. Kezia does not immediately develop trust because she interprets punishment as rejection. Her later experience at night reverses this pattern: her father notices her fear, responds with care, and gives her comfort. That moment reduces emotional distance and begins to build trust. Therefore, option B is correct. Joy, trust, and safety are possible results of understanding, not of its absence.
