Review the information by clicking the link above and answer the following question.

If A and D are sisters, all of the following must be true EXCEPT

1. B is a male.
2. A is Z's mother.
3. D is Z's aunt.
4. G is Z's daughter.
5. F is not Z's brother.

In the scheme of relations, there is only one possible pair of sisters: the mother and the aunt. It will not do to argue that Z might have married his sister, especially when an ordinary, sister relationship is available. In any event, if A and D represent the mother and the aunt, since D is not the mother, A must be Z's mother. Further, since A must be female, B must be male. Then, since A is Z's mother and since F was born before A, F could not be Z's brother. A, B, and D are eliminated as daughters but this still leaves several possibilities.
