What is the critical purpose of comparing Macdonald and Kezia's father?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To present different displays of love to the reader

The governing literary device is contrast. The Macdonald family gives Kezia a visible example of a father who plays, laughs, and shows affection openly. Her own father is stern and quiet, so his love is initially difficult for her to recognise. By placing the two fathers side by side, the writer invites readers to examine different emotional styles rather than accept a simple good-parent and bad-parent judgement. Option C is correct because the comparison presents varied displays of love and deepens Kezia’s understanding. Options A and B oversimplify the characters, while D wrongly dismisses an important turning point.
