Detailed explanation-1: -Father was a strict disciplinarian who believed in the use of physical punishment to correct children. He came to Kezia’s room with a ruler because he wanted to punish her and teach her not to touch what did not belong to her.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ans-(i) Before going to his office, Kezia’s father usually went into her room to give her a casual kiss. (ii) After coming back from his office, he ordered for tea to brought into the drawing room. He also asked his mother to bring him the newspaper and his slippers, and Kezia to pull off his boots.
Detailed explanation-3: -A funny feeling came over her. So as Kezia father was very tired, he slept before she did. A funny feeling came over her. Poor Father, not so big, after all-and with no one to look after him.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ans: Being afraid of her father, Kezia hesitated to speak to him. Whenever she had to, she would stutter and sound different because her natural speech would be obstructed. He was so big – his hands and his neck, especially his mouth when he yawned. Thinking about him alone was like thinking about a giant.
