Why is empathy necessary in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It reduces Kezia's fear of and distance from her father.

Empathy is necessary because the story centres on a gap between intention and perception. Kezia sees her father's tired, stern behaviour but cannot initially recognise the love and responsibility behind it. When she experiences his care during her nightmare, she begins to understand his feelings and circumstances. This emotional insight reduces her fear and the distance between them, so option A is correct. Option B describes the opposite effect: empathy softens fear rather than increasing it. Option C is also wrong because understanding the father includes recognising his hard work and tiredness, not dismissing them. Option D reverses the governing idea, since empathy clears up misunderstanding. The story's movement is from fear and confusion to understanding, security, and affection.
