Two examples of ambiguous sentences 1) The teacher said on Monday he will take a pop quiz 2) The burglar robbed the woman with knife The above two sentences can be considered as the potential example of ambiguous statements. In the first sentence, it is not clear that whether the activity of quiz will be taken on Monday, or the teacher announced about the quiz on Monday. In the next sentence, the reader again will be confused thinking that whether the burglar has robbed a woman who was carrying a knife or the burglar used his knife to frighten the woman and then robbed her.
