Answer: She will most likely say she has more grandmothers.

Explanation: The four year old is more likely to say more grandmothers because a four year old might not or is incapable of some form of logical reasoning. By the age of 7 to 8, a child should be then capable of identifying the difference and similarities between grandmothers, aunts and relatives.
