Why is Kezia unable to read her father's silence as a language of love?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because fear limits her emotional perception

The governing idea is that fear can distort a child’s interpretation of another person’s behaviour. Kezia sees her father as stern, busy, and likely to scold her, so his quiet actions do not register as affection. Her fear acts like an emotional barrier: instead of noticing care beneath his silence, she expects danger or punishment. Therefore, option C is correct. Option A is false because the father remains at home, option B misrepresents the grandmother’s role, and option D is unrelated. The story later corrects Kezia’s first impression when her father protects and comforts her, showing that silence may conceal love rather than express rejection.
