Which emotional distance does empathy reduce in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The fear-based distance between Kezia and her father

Empathy reduces the emotional distance created by Kezia’s fear of her father. At first, she interprets his stern voice, formal manner and lack of playful conversation as signs that he does not love her. Her understanding changes when she observes the contrast between his strict exterior and his protective response to her nightmare. She begins to see him as a tired but caring parent, so fear gives way to trust and closeness. The story does not develop a comparable emotional conflict between Kezia and her school, Grandmother and neighbours, or her mother and the Macdonald family. Consequently, option A identifies both the relationship and the emotional barrier that empathy helps overcome.
