two sons and two fathers are on a fishing trip. On the way home, they are in an accident and one of them dies. Now there are only two of them alive. How is this possible?

Clear explanation.
Three people A B C.
A is the father of B.
B is the father of C.
So we have two fathers and two sons in just three people.

By "them" you never specified if it was either a father or son. So if a father died, that would leave two sons and so two of "them". If a son died, two fathers would be alive and there would still be two of "them".
