What state of Kezia's mind does the butcher dream show?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Fear

The frightening dream involving a butcher and a knife reveals that Kezia is living with deep fear and insecurity. The governing concept is indirect characterisation: dreams and frightened reactions can expose emotions that a character may not state directly. In the dream, danger appears threatening, and Kezia calls for her father, showing both panic and a need for protection. Option D is correct. Excitement, confidence and contentment do not fit the violent imagery or her distressed response. The dream is especially meaningful because it reflects Kezia’s wider emotional condition: she feels vulnerable and sees her father as a frightening figure before she experiences his comfort. Thus, the scene does not merely describe a nightmare; it helps readers understand the child’s inner fear and dependence on an adult for safety.
