Introducing a man, a woman said, "His wife is the only daughter of my father." How is the man related to the woman?
- A. Brother
- B. Husband
- C. Father in law
- D. Uncle
Explanation
The only daughter of her father is the woman herself, so the man whose wife she is must be her husband. Substituting the speaker for the description as soon as it resolves prevents confusion. The word only is what guarantees the identification.
