What does the example of the Macdonald family do in the story's emotional logic?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It provides a contrast that helps explain the father's quiet affection

The governing concept is contrast as a device for emotional interpretation. Kezia observes that Mr Macdonald openly plays with his children, and this makes her notice how different her own father appears. The comparison initially reinforces her belief that her father is unusually hard. Later, however, the nightmare episode teaches her that affection need not always be cheerful, verbal or playful; it may also be quiet and protective. Option C is correct because the Macdonald family supplies a comparison that prepares the reader for this deeper understanding. A and B exaggerate its function, while D connects it to an unrelated practical incident.
