Anita said, 'The man in the photograph is the son of my father's only son.' Who is the man in the photograph?
Answer: A
Anita's father's only son = Anita's brother (or Anita herself if she's the only child, but context suggests a brother). Brother's son = Anita's nephew. However, if 'only son' refers to the only male child and Anita is female, then it's her brother's son = nephew. But if the question means Anita's father's only child who is a son, and if Anita is that person (linguistically odd), it could be her son. Most likely: Anita's nephew.
