What is the most important basis of empathy in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Understanding others' situation

The governing concept is perspective-taking: empathy begins when a person tries to understand another person’s situation, feelings, and motives. Kezia first misunderstands her father because she sees only his strict exterior and hears his sharp voice. Her experience of being comforted during the night helps her recognise that he also has burdens and expresses love in a restrained way. Therefore, option C is correct. Fear may block understanding, misunderstanding creates emotional distance, and punishment cannot produce genuine compassion. The story presents empathy as a thoughtful change in interpretation, not as obedience forced by authority.
