What meaning emerges when Kezia's stuttering is read empathetically?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: She is frightened rather than disobedient

Kezia’s stuttering is an outward sign of inner fear and emotional pressure. When she speaks to her father, anxiety makes it difficult for her to express herself clearly, so her broken speech should not be interpreted as deliberate disobedience or mockery. Option A is correct because an empathetic reader looks beneath the surface and recognises the frightened child behind the hesitation. The other options assign motives that the story does not support. The governing concept is sensitive character interpretation: speech patterns, silence, and hesitation may reveal a character’s emotional state. Understanding this context prevents adults from judging Kezia unfairly and explains why she struggles to communicate with her father.
