What would be an empathetic response to Kezia's fear?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Calming and reassuring her

An empathetic response begins by recognising that Kezia’s fear feels real and important to her, even if another person thinks the situation is minor. A caring adult would listen calmly, use reassuring words, remain patient, and help her feel physically and emotionally safe. Therefore, option B is correct. Frightening her further, laughing at her, or scolding her would dismiss her emotions and could increase her anxiety. In The Little Girl, Kezia needs understanding rather than punishment. The governing idea is that empathy combines awareness of another person’s feelings with supportive action; merely noticing that someone is upset is not enough unless the response offers comfort and safety.
