Consider the following pairs:

1.Maternal UncleMother's brother's only sibling
2.SisterFather's mother's only son's daughter
3.MotherBrother's wife's only mother-in-law

How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?

  • A.Only one pair
  • B.Only two pairs
  • C.All three pairs
  • D.None of the pairs

Answer: B

Only two pairs are correctly matched.

Pair 1 is wrong. Your mother's brother's only sibling is your mother herself, not your maternal uncle (the uncle is the mother's brother).

Pair 2 is right. Your father's mother's only son is your father, and your father's daughter is your sister (for a male speaker; for a female speaker the description could be herself, but the intended relation is sister).

Pair 3 is right. Your brother's wife's mother-in-law is her husband's mother, and since he is your brother that is your own mother.

So pairs 2 and 3 hold and pair 1 does not.
