Correct Answer: Sister-in-law
Explanation
Introduction / Context:This is a straightforward in-law identification. The person met is "the wife of the brother of her husband."
Given Data / Assumptions:
- Her husband has a brother.
- The person is that brother's wife.
Concept / Approach:The wife of one's husband's brother is commonly called a sister-in-law.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Husband → his brother ⇒ brother-in-law to the lady.Brother-in-law’s wife ⇒ the lady’s sister-in-law.Verification / Alternative check:All cultures may vary in specific terms, but aptitude puzzles use standard English kinship: brother’s wife = sister-in-law.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:Cousin/sister/niece/aunt do not follow from the specified spousal link.
Common Pitfalls:Confusing whether the sister-in-law is via one’s own sibling or spouse’s sibling; both are sister-in-law.
Final Answer:Sister-in-law
