What does the comparison between Mr Macdonald and Kezia's father clarify in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Different expressions of fatherhood

The governing literary concept is characterization through contrast. Mr Macdonald plays openly and affectionately with his children, whereas Kezia’s father appears formal, strict, and emotionally distant. By placing these fathers side by side, the story shows that parental love can be expressed in different ways: one father displays warmth directly, while the other may care deeply but communicate it poorly. Thus option A is correct because the comparison clarifies different expressions of fatherhood and helps readers reassess Kezia’s father. Options B, C, and D are unrelated details and cannot explain why the comparison is included.
