For all those who tried this, thank you :smiley:

As I worked on it, I came to the conclusion the answer could ONLY be (B) My Daughter i.e. the woman is looking at a photograph of her daughter.

I note a couple of you came up with the answer of (C) Me i.e. the woman is looking at a photo of herself.

I don’t believe she can be looking at a photo of herself, but I do have a couple of friends who also came up with (C).

One of my friends even says that there a TWO [correct] answers and that one is the AMERICAN version and the other is the ENGLISH version. His arguement is that it’s a quirke of the language and Amercian English speakers see it one way and the English English speakers see it another.

So for now I will declare the answer as (B) My daughter and if anyone can convince me why that is wrong, or why their (let’s say (C)) is right, I am here to listen :smiley:
