Why can Kezia’s empathy not be called mere sentimentality?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because it is understanding developed through her own experience

The governing concept is the difference between sentimentality and empathy. Sentimentality may be a temporary or exaggerated emotion, whereas empathy involves trying to understand another person’s feelings and circumstances. Kezia’s change is supported by concrete experience: she has a frightening nightmare, her father comforts her, and she notices his rough, tired hands. These observations help her connect his stern manner with work, fatigue, and responsibility rather than with a lack of love. Her conclusion is therefore thoughtful and evidence-based, not merely emotional. Option A is correct. Options B, C, and D offer causes that the story does not provide and cannot explain her changed view.
