Pointing to a photograph, a man said, "He is the son of my grandfather's only son." How is the man in the photograph related to him?
Correct answer: B. His brother or himself
- A. His father
- B. His brother or himself
- C. His uncle
- D. His cousin
Explanation
The grandfather's only son must be the speaker's own father, so the person in the photograph is his father's son, which is either the speaker himself or his brother. Working inwards from the innermost phrase is the reliable technique. Because only one son exists, no uncle or cousin is possible on that side.
