Nearly there, your answer is correct but there is another possible solution.

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 to find the other possible solution!
