Final answer:

Kyle is the cousin of Kaylee. This is concluded by breaking down the relationships step by step, starting from the 'father of her uncle' (Kaylee's grandfather) and realizing that Kyle must be the son of either Kaylee's mother or aunt.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kaylee introduced Kyle as the son of the daughter of the father of her uncle. To solve this relationship puzzle, we should break down the relationships step by step:

  • Father of her uncle - This would be Kaylee's grandfather.
  • Daughter of Kaylee's grandfather - This would be Kaylee's mother or Kaylee's aunt.
  • Son of the daughter of Kaylee's grandfather - This would be either Kaylee's brother or her cousin, depending on whether the 'daughter' in this context is Kaylee's mother or aunt.

Since the 'daughter' referred to is not specified as Kaylee's mother, we must conclude that Kyle is the cousin of Kaylee.
