Show the answer and the worked solution
Correct answer: A. Cousin
Worked solution
- Mother's brother = maternal uncle.
- His daughter is your cousin.
Answer: Cousin.
The idea
Walk the chain one link at a time and name each person as you go. A cousin is any child of a parent's sibling.
Shortcut. She and the speaker are in the same generation (both grandchildren of the mother's parents) but not siblings, which makes her a cousin.
Common trap. "Niece" — she is the mother's niece, not the speaker's; a niece is a sibling's child, one generation below.
