Answer 1

Answer:

B. Father's brother

M is the paternal uncle (father's brother) of O.

Let's break down the expression M / J − O X T + L piece by piece from left to right:

1. M / J

   • Code: / means brother.

   • Meaning: M is the brother of J.

2. J − O

   • Code: − means father.

   • Meaning: J is the father of O.

   • Connection: Since M is J's brother, M is the uncle of O.

3. O X T

   • Code: X means sister.

   • Meaning: O is the sister of T (This confirms O is female).

4. T + L

   • Code: + means mother.

   • Meaning: T is the mother of L.

• J is the father of O.

• M is the brother of J.

Therefore, M is the brother of O's father, which makes M the paternal uncle of O.
