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

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It provides a comparison of different expressions of fatherly love

The governing concept is contrast as a literary method. The Macdonald father is shown playing openly and affectionately with his children, whereas Kezia’s father appears serious, busy and less demonstrative. This contrast first makes Kezia notice that fathers can behave differently, but it does not prove that her own father has no love. Her later experience of being comforted at night reveals that his affection is expressed through protection and responsibility rather than playful talk. Consequently, option B is the balanced interpretation. Option A is too extreme, while the remaining choices concern school life or the mother’s illness and have no connection with the purpose of the Macdonald comparison.
