Why is it wrong to treat Kezia's fear as a joke?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because her fear is a genuine emotional pain

Empathy requires taking a person's emotional experience seriously, even when another person does not share the same fear. Kezia is genuinely distressed by her father's stern voice, scolding and intimidating presence. Therefore option B is correct: her fear is real emotional pain, not a joke to be dismissed. Option A is too absolute because fear is not always imaginary; it can arise from repeated experiences and perceived threat. Option C contradicts the story, since her father is present in the household, and option D is not the reason her fear should be respected. Treating the fear lightly would silence Kezia's feelings, whereas understanding it helps explain her stammering and distance from her father.
