Why is the Macdonald family used in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To show a comparison of different fatherly behaviour

The governing literary device here is contrast. The Macdonald family is included to give Kezia an example of a father who behaves openly and playfully with his children. Mr Macdonald runs after his little girl, carries the baby, and responds with visible affection. By observing this family, Kezia compares their warm interaction with her own fear of her serious father. The comparison helps her realise that fathers may express love in different ways and prepares her to understand her own father more sympathetically. Therefore, option A is correct. The other options mention unrelated details or confuse the family’s purpose with an event in the plot.
