Could they ask on friendship for the Peter Skryznecki essay Q?

No. 'Friendship' is far too narrow of a theme. However, they may ask about relationships in general which includes friendship but also familial belonging. Also, there are very few instances of friendship that occur in Skryznecki's poems and these really can not be enough to sustain an entire essay.

They make it narrow to stop memorised essays but broad enough that there would be many arguments at the same time. Friendship is too narrow as LifeBoats mentioned, one cannot sustain a 1000 word essay based on that theme nor can they go into too much depth, therefore they'll lack a coherent, sophisticated response.
