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.
