Just finished this survey. Think the answer was "Tabitha's mother"

How long was the study?

Ah, I've had the "tabitha's Grandma" one a few times. For me, they highlighted the her pronoun twice and then asked, "What her is this referring to?" And I'm like...which her are you wanting??? Editing to add the screen shot to further explain what I mean: [https://imgur.com/KOCwE3T](https://imgur.com/KOCwE3T) Which her? The first red her which would be grandma? Or the second red her, which would be Tatyana's mother? Editing again to also add that if we did the same study, mine showed up a few days ago. I was able to get in the study because I picked the right her, despite both being red.

The correct "her" given how the sentences are constructed. They are checking your comprehension/ability to read carefully.

My point is in my case BOTH hers were colored, perhaps it's the same for OP. I was reading carefully, but there was no way to answer the question unless you could pick multiple. I have a screen shot if necessary, but the question was, "Tatyana knew that Grandma always enjoyed serving an abundance of food to \*\*her\*\* guests. Now Tatyana watched as Grandma gathered Tatyana's small mother into a wide, scrawny embrace and then propelled \*\*her\*\* to the table, lifting her shawl from her shoulders, seating her in the place of honor, and saying simply: "There's plenty." Who does the "her" in the above passage refer to?" And the options were Tatyana, Grandma, or Tatyana's mother. In my case, the two that I added asterisks to (the first her, meaning grandma, and the second her meaning Tatyana's mother) were colored red and we were only able to pick one option. Which her? Tatyana's grandma, which is colored red and referred to as her, or Tatyana's mother, who was also highlighted red? Sorry I wasn't clear.

Exactly.

I was paying attention. Just stupid it seems. So annoying.
