What limited but useful work does the Macdonald family's example do in emotional understanding?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It creates comparison by showing a different expression of love

The governing concept is contrast as a narrative device. The Macdonald family gives Kezia, and the reader, an example of a father who appears more openly playful and expressive with his children. This comparison helps highlight the difference between Macdonald’s visible warmth and Kezia’s father’s quieter, stricter manner. However, it does not by itself explain the father’s true feelings or resolve the pin-cushion misunderstanding; that understanding comes from Kezia’s direct experience of being comforted. Therefore option C is correct. A and B wrongly remove important characters, while D assigns the family a role it does not perform. The comparison widens interpretation but remains limited.
