Sorry, the answer is not correct.

Lexical ambiguity means that the ambiguity arises on the level of the lexeme (word).

e.g. "I was right next to the bank when I fainted, otherwise I might not have survived."

  • The speaker might have fainted on the water next to the bank of a river, so he did not drown.
  • The speaker fainted next to a financial institute, so enough people were there who could help him.

See the Glossary entry on Lexical Ambiguity for more information.
