Why is the Macdonald family used as a contrast in the story?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Their open, playful affection differs from Kezia's father's limited expression

The Macdonald family is included to give Kezia a visible example of a warmer and more openly expressive father-child relationship. Mr Macdonald plays with his children and responds to them affectionately, whereas Kezia’s father generally remains serious, busy, and sparing in his words. The governing literary concept is contrast: placing two family patterns together helps readers understand why Kezia misjudges her own father and later re-evaluates him. Option C is correct. Option A reverses the contrast, option B ignores the scene’s purpose, and option D falsely claims that the Macdonalds repeat the pin-cushion incident.
