John introduces Mary as his mother's only daughter. What is Mary's relation to John?
Explanation: Since Mary is referred to as his mother's only daughter, Mary must be John's own sister. 'Aunt' would be his mother's sister, 'Mother' would be incorrect as that would make John his own uncle, and 'Cousin' usually refers to the child of one's aunt or uncle, not a direct sibling.
If Steve is the brother of Lily, and Lily is the daughter of Paul, what is Steve's relation to Paul?
Explanation: Steve is also a child of Paul since Lily, Steve's sister, is Paul's daughter. 'Nephew' would imply Paul is Steve's uncle, which is not the case. 'Uncle' and 'Father' are unrelated to Steve's position as Paul's son in this scenario.
Alex says, 'My grandfather's only son is my father.' How is Alex related to his grandfather?
Explanation: If the only son of the grandfather is Alex's father, then Alex is directly the grandson. 'Uncle' and 'Nephew' do not fit the generational flow, and 'Brother' would wrongly imply an equal generational status with the grandfather.
If Michael's father's sister is Susan, who is Susan to Michael?
Explanation: Susan is Michael’s father's sister, which makes her his aunt. 'Mother' would mean she is married to his father, 'Grandmother' would be one generation up, and 'Sister' is not supported by the information.
Sophia's brother's mother is Who to Sophia?
Explanation: Sophia and her brother share the same mother, so her brother's mother is Sophia's mother. 'Grandmother' is a generation above, 'Aunt' is a sibling of the parent, and 'Cousin' is not a parental relationship.
If Sam is married to Laura, and Laura is Julie's daughter, what is Sam’s relation to Julie?
Explanation: Sam is Julie's daughter Laura's husband, making Sam the son-in-law. 'Father' would require Sam to be a generation above Laura, 'Brother' is not indicated, and 'Nephew' is another kin, not through marriage.
Maria and Tom share the same grandparents but have different parents. What is their relation?
Explanation: People with the same grandparents but different parents are cousins. If they had the same parents, they'd be siblings. 'Aunt and nephew' and 'siblings-in-law' suggest a different kinship arrangement unrelated to the scenario.
If Lisa introduces David as her husband's brother, what is David to Lisa?
Explanation: Lisa's husband's brother is her brother-in-law. 'Father-in-law' is her husband's father, 'Stepbrother' would be a sibling by marriage, not through her spouse, and 'Uncle' is a different relation altogether.
If Rahul is the only son of Maya and Maya is the mother of Priya, what is Rahul’s relation to Priya?
Explanation: Maya is mother to both Priya and Rahul, and Rahul is indicated as her only son, so they are siblings, making Rahul the brother. 'Father', 'Uncle', and 'Nephew' do not fit based on the data.
If Anita is Peter's wife and Mary is Peter's mother, what is Mary's relation to Anita?
Explanation: Mary is the mother of Peter, who is married to Anita; therefore, Mary is Anita's mother-in-law. 'Sister-in-law' would be Peter's sister, 'Daughter' is not possible due to the generational difference, and 'Grandmother' would require another generation in between.
