What is the emotional purpose of the Macdonald family episode?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To present a contrasting example of open fatherly affection

The governing concept is contrast as a method of emotional understanding. Mr Macdonald openly plays with his children and responds to them affectionately, whereas Kezia’s father appears stern, busy, and less expressive. Seeing this difference helps Kezia and the reader recognise how outward behaviour shapes a child’s interpretation of love. However, the episode does not prove that her father has no affection; the later night scene reveals his care in a quieter form. Option B is correct. A is too absolute, while C and D have no textual basis and misunderstand the episode’s constructive purpose.
