If a statement is "ambiguous," what does it indicate?

• A. It is open to more than one interpretation or unclear.
• B. It is clearly defined.
• C. It is false.
• D. It is well-supported.

Answer: (A)

Ambiguity means that a statement can be interpreted in more than one way, or its meaning isn’t clear. This happens when terms are vague, the wording allows different readings, or there isn’t enough context to pin down who or what is being referred to. That’s exactly what the option describes: it being open to more than one interpretation or unclear. If something were clearly defined, it wouldn’t be ambiguous. If it were false, that’s about truth value, not clarity. If it were well-supported, that concerns evidence, not how many meanings the statement admits. The key idea is that ambiguity is about multiple possible readings rather than truth or support.
