Which is the best example of empathy in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The father comforting Kezia and letting her sleep beside him after her nightmare

Empathy is shown when a person recognises another person’s emotional need and responds supportively. After Kezia’s nightmare, her father notices that she is frightened, takes her to his bed, and allows her to sleep beside him. His action gives her comfort and security, even though he usually appears strict. That direct response to her distress makes option A the clearest example. Tearing the papers is an accidental mistake, and fear is a feeling rather than an empathetic action. Macdonald’s playfulness demonstrates affection, but it does not respond as directly to Kezia’s immediate emotional suffering. Therefore A is the best answer.
