Definition: Ambiguity is a word phrase or statement that can be understood in two or more possible ways, (double meaning).
Example: Jennifer said, she saw several Bats in the backroom two days ago.
Explanation: This is an ambiguous statement because we can’t say for sure whether it’s “Bat” as the nocturnal species of animal or if it’s the sporting equipment used to play baseball.

Hi Priscille. Your example of the fallacy of ambiguity is clear and understandable. The explanation clearly demonstrates the example that the bat can be either understood as an animal or sports equipment.
