What moral balance is present in Kezia's final understanding of her father?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: She recognizes his love despite his strictness

Kezia’s final understanding is balanced because she does not pretend that the earlier punishment never happened. She remembers that her father frightened her and treated her harshly after the pin-cushion incident. At the same time, the night episode gives her direct evidence of his care. She can therefore hold two truths together: his manner is strict, but his feelings are not without love.

This balanced view is more mature than calling him completely bad or treating him as perfect. The story suggests that people may express affection imperfectly, especially when they are tired, busy, or unable to speak gently. Mr Macdonald provides a useful contrast, but he does not replace Kezia’s father. Therefore, option B is correct because it recognizes love without denying strictness or its effect on the child.
