Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
T is S's daughter, and X is a child of T and W, so X is S's grandchild.
No clue says whether X is a boy or a girl.
X is S's grandson or granddaughter depending on a fact we do not have, so the relation cannot be determined.
Worth noting
The relation is certainly 'grandchild', but grandson and granddaughter each assume a gender the passage never gives.
