How does the portrayal of Mr Macdonald indirectly help in understanding Kezia's father?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It creates comparison by showing different forms of fatherhood

The governing literary concept is contrast through characterization. Mr Macdonald is presented as a playful, affectionate father who laughs and interacts freely with his children. Kezia's father, in contrast, appears serious, distant and frightening from her limited childhood viewpoint. Placing these two fathers near each other does not prove that one model is the only correct model; instead, it gives the reader a standard of comparison. Later, when Kezia's father carries her to bed and comforts her during the frightening night, the comparison becomes more meaningful: his love exists, but it is expressed differently and less openly. Option D is correct. A is too absolute, while B and C misrepresent the purpose of Mr Macdonald's role.
