- All three qualify because parentage is enough
- Only the biological daughter qualifies because adopted children are excluded
- The daughter and adopted son qualify under the stated category, but the nineteen-year-old does not
- Only the nineteen-year-old qualifies because he is an adult
- None qualifies unless Lea first wins an election
