What role does the Macdonald family scene play in Kezia's journey of empathy?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It provides a basis for comparing different fatherly behaviours

The governing literary concept is contrast: a secondary scene can help a character reassess a central relationship. Kezia watches Mr Macdonald playing cheerfully and affectionately with his children, which gives her an image of a father who expresses love openly. This does not prove that her own father has no affection; instead, it makes her compare visible behaviour with the hidden care she has not yet understood. Therefore option A is correct. Option B invents revenge, while C and D are wrong because the scene deepens rather than removes the main conflict and keeps Kezia’s father central. The comparison prepares the reader for Kezia’s later, more empathetic interpretation.
