Pointing to a man, a woman said, 'His mother is the only daughter of my father'. How is the woman related to the man?
Sister
Aunt
Mother
Wife
Mother
Identify the 'only daughter of my father' phrase first, which always refers to the speaker herself (the woman).
Identify the 'only daughter of my father' phrase first, which always refers to the speaker herself (the woman).
Analyze the core phrase
The woman says, 'His mother is the only daughter of my father'. The 'only daughter of my father' refers to the woman speaking herself.
Substitute and relate
Substitute 'the woman' into the sentence: 'His mother is [the woman]'. Therefore, the woman is the mother of the man.
A: The woman is the parent, not a sibling. B: She is directly the mother, not a paternal/maternal aunt. D: There is no indication of marriage, and the parent-child relationship is explicitly defined by the logic.
C is correct because the phrase 'only daughter of my father' identifies the woman herself, making her the mother of the man mentioned.
In 'Pointing' puzzles, always parse the sentence from the perspective of the speaker ('my father', 'my sister') to anchor the relationship to the speaker.
