Cordelia loves her father unconditionally. She does not flatter, she has no wish to manipulate, and she isn't looking for power or gifts. She behaves differently from her sisters because of the love and respect she has for her father..... unfortunatley, her father doesn't take the time to think about her answer or the love it expresses. Instead, he foolishly gravitates toward the flattery of her sisters and their very well thought out deceit. The answer to your question is simple.... which daughter acted from the heart?
