Question

Which of these sentences has an ambiguous reference?

A. Rajesh lost his platinum watch when he went rock climbing last week.
B. I saw the driver of the bus standing on the corner yesterday afternoon.
C. Benjamin is bringing his girlfriend home on Saturday to meet his parents.
D. The storm that frightened us last night left behind a beautiful rainbow.

Answer 1

Ambiguous is just another word for unclear. An example would be a writer making an assumption about the reader, something like;
"...and we all know what that means"
...when, in actual fact, we don't.
It's a sign of self-indulgent and negligent writing. ^_^
