What is the deeper reason for treating the Macdonald family as a contrast?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Their open affection contrasts with Kezia's father's silent affection

The Macdonald family serves a literary purpose: it gives Kezia a nearby example of a father who expresses affection openly and playfully. Mr Macdonald’s interaction with his children helps her realise that fathers may show love in different ways. This does not mean that her own father lacks love; rather, his affection is quieter, restrained, and connected with responsibility. Option C is correct because the contrast is between open affection and silent affection, not between love and no love. The Macdonald family is therefore neither unnecessary nor identical to Kezia’s family, and it has no role in making the pin cushion.
