Which experience helped Kezia most in understanding her father's love?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Father's support on the frightening night
The decisive experience occurs when Kezia is frightened by a nightmare and her father responds with practical tenderness. Instead of leaving her alone, he takes her to his room, makes a place for her beside him, and helps her feel secure. His quiet care changes the meaning of his earlier strictness in her mind. She begins to see that the same man who seemed frightening also protects and comforts her. Grandmother’s advice introduces the idea of speaking to him, while the pin cushion causes trouble and Macdonald’s play only provides a comparison. The father’s support during the frightening night therefore gives Kezia the strongest direct evidence of his love.
