If a statement is unclear in its meaning, it is described as which term?

• A. Ambiguous
• B. Clear
• C. Obvious
• D. Verbose

Answer: (A)

Ambiguity occurs when language allows more than one interpretation. When a statement's meaning is unclear, it is described as ambiguous. This happens due to vagueness, double meanings, or insufficient detail. Clear means easy to understand with no doubt; obvious means readily perceived or understood; verbose means wordy and may cloud meaning. For example, "The meeting is next week" could be ambiguous about which week; adding a specific date removes ambiguity.
