Why does the ending of the story feel satisfying?

Because understanding develops between father and daughter

The governing concept is emotional resolution. For most of the story, Kezia and her father are separated by fear, silence and misunderstanding: she sees him as frightening, while he does not realize how his manner affects her. The nighttime incident changes this pattern. His practical act of comfort reveals his love, and Kezia begins to see him as a caring human being rather than only a strict authority figure. The ending therefore feels satisfying because the central emotional conflict moves toward understanding and affection. Option B is correct. The other choices are either unrelated events or false descriptions: Kezia does not leave school, Grandmother does not sell the house, and the Macdonald family's departure is not the source of the resolution.
