What is the main basis for treating Kezia's stammering as an emotional sign?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It brings out her inner insecurity before father

Kezia’s stammering is treated as an emotional sign because it appears in the context of fear and insecurity, especially when she faces her father. Speech becomes difficult when she feels tense, watched, or afraid of making another mistake. Her hesitation therefore gives the reader information about her inner state even when she cannot express it directly. The stammer is not presented mainly as proof that she has failed to learn language, copied Macdonald, or simply obeyed Grandmother.

Option B is correct because the stammer brings out Kezia’s inner insecurity before her father. It is a behavioural expression of emotional pressure, not just a mechanical speech problem in this literary context. The sign helps connect outer action with inner feeling: her broken speech reflects uncertainty, fear, and lack of confidence. Understanding this clue makes the father-daughter communication gap clearer and explains why Kezia needs patience and empathy rather than greater punishment.
