Why does Kezia not understand father's silence as emotional language?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because fear makes father's image harsh in her mind

The governing idea is that fear can distort a child’s interpretation of another person’s behaviour. Kezia sees her father as large, strict, and frightening, so his quietness appears cold rather than thoughtful or loving. She has not yet developed the emotional maturity to read silence as a sign of tiredness, concern, or affection. Her fear acts like a filter: it selects threatening meanings and hides softer ones. Option C is correct because the later night-time experience changes this fearful image when her father comforts her. Options A, B, and D are unsupported: father does approach her, Alice does not create the fear, and Macdonald has no power to hide him.
