Sorry, the answer is not correct.

Structural ambiguity deals with ambiguity on the level of syntax.

e.g. "Old women and men."
It is unclear to which noun (women and/or men) the adjective old refers, so the sentence could be read in the two following ways:

  • Both women and men are old.
  • Old only refers to the women. Men are not specified"

See the Glossary entry on Structural Ambiguity for more information.

Try it again, please!
