Pointing to a girl playing with her friends in a park, Rita said, "She is the daughter of the only daughter of my father." How is Rita related to that girl?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Mother
A long relation is untied from the end nearest the speaker, one link at a time.
“My father” is Rita’s father
“The only daughter of my father”: Rita is a daughter of her father, and he has only one daughter, so this is Rita herself
“She is the daughter of” Rita: the girl is Rita’s daughter, so Rita is her mother
