The Macdonald family is an example of which literary technique in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Contrast

The Macdonald family functions as a contrast to Kezia's family, especially to her experience of her father. Kezia observes Mr Macdonald playing freely and affectionately with his children, while her own father seems distant, formal, and frightening. This comparison influences her judgement and makes her believe that her father does not love her. Later, when her father comforts her at night, the comparison becomes more balanced: the difference is partly in the expression of love, not necessarily in the presence of love. The passage is not mainly exaggeration, a direct metaphor, or foreshadowing. Option C is correct because the neighbouring family highlights another possible pattern of parent-child interaction.
