Pointing to a photograph of a person James said, the person in the photogrpah is my maternal grandfather's only son's son. How is the person in the photograph related to James?
- Father
- Cousin
- Brother
- Son
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Let’s carefully analyze the description: James is referring to his maternal grandfather’s only son. James’ maternal grandfather’s only son is James’ mother’s brother, i.e., James’ maternal uncle. The phrase ”only son’s son” refers to the son of James’ maternal uncle, which makes the person in the photograph James’ cousin.
Thus, the person in the photograph is James’ cousin because he is the son of James’ maternal uncle.
It’s essential to note that James did not say he was looking at a photograph of his own brother, and the term ”only son” refers to the only son of James’ maternal grandfather, which points to the cousin relationship.
Conclusion: Not applicable in this case, as the conclusion is embedded within the explanation.
