Example sentence: (1) Pat didn't know a guest at the party. 

Sorry, your answer is not correct.

This is not a lexical ambiguity. 

Of course, you could argue that the name ''Pat'' could either refer to a female person (short for ''Patricia'') or a male person (short for ''Patrick''). In this sense, it would be a lexical ambiguity.

However, we are after a different type of ambiguity here. Try again or check the [[Types of ambiguity|explanations]] again.
