Pointing to a woman, Ali said, "She is the daughter of the only child of my grandmother." How is the woman related to Ali?
- A. His sister
- B. His aunt
- C. His mother
- D. His cousin
Explanation
The grandmother's only child must be Ali's own parent, so the woman is that parent's daughter, making her Ali's sister. The phrase only child rules out any aunt or uncle, which in turn rules out cousins. Resolving the innermost description first is again the key step.
