What is the basis of the new image of the father in Kezia's mind?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Direct affection received in a moment of fear

The new image of Kezia’s father is based on a direct experience of his care. When Kezia becomes frightened at night, she goes to him, and he comforts her, gives her warmth, and allows her to sleep beside him. This action reveals that the apparently strict father is also loving and protective. Therefore, option A is correct: her understanding changes because she personally experiences his affection, not because another character merely explains it. The grandmother’s advice and the Macdonald children’s behaviour help provide background, but they do not create the decisive change. The episode shows that empathy develops when fear and distance are replaced by shared experience and emotional security.
