Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
To solve this relationship puzzle, let's break down the statement step-by-step:
Logical Breakdown
The Speaker: A woman.
The Phrase: "my mother's only daughter."
The woman's mother has only one daughter. Since the speaker is a woman and is the daughter of her mother, the speaker herself must be that "only daughter."
The Identification: "She [the girl] is the daughter of [my mother's only daughter]."
Substituting our finding from above: "She [the girl] is the daughter of [me (the speaker)]."
Conclusion
Since the girl is the daughter of the woman speaking, the girl is the woman's daughter. This corresponds to Option 1.
