Why is the night experience an epistemic turning point for Kezia?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: She comes to know father through direct affection and safety

The night experience is an epistemic, or knowledge-changing, turning point because Kezia learns something new about her father through direct experience. Before that night, her knowledge is shaped by fear, punishment, silence, and imagination. She assumes that his stern appearance means he is entirely harsh. When he comforts and protects her, she discovers that his behaviour also contains care. Her understanding is therefore not merely a change of mood; it is a correction of an incomplete belief about him.

Option D is correct because Kezia comes to know her father through direct affection and safety. She does not become distant from Grandmother, simply forget the pin cushion, or accept Macdonald as her father. The event gives meaning to earlier confusing experiences and helps her reinterpret them. It is a moment of realization in which fear is replaced by a more complete and sympathetic understanding.
