If 'A $ B' means A is the son of B, 'A # B' means A is the wife of B, and 'A & B' means A is the brother of B, what does 'P $ Q # R & S' indicate about the relation of P to S?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. P is the nephew of S
- Step 1: 'R & S' means R is the brother of S.
- Step 2: 'Q # R' means Q is the wife of R.
- Step 3: 'P $ Q' means P is the son of Q (and hence P is the son of R).
- Step 4: Since R is the brother of S, P is the son of S's brother, which means P is the nephew of S.
Why not the others: The other kinship terms (P is the son of S, P is the brother of S, P is the cousin of S) confuse generational levels, reverse sibling relationships, or misinterpret maternal versus paternal links.
