Example sentence: 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 explanations again.
