问题 The sentence "The fish is ready to eat. " is ambiguous due to______. (  )

选项 A、extra-linguistic context
B、grammatical context
C、lexical context
D、homonymy

答案B

解析 题干译文:造成句子The fish is ready to eat歧义的原因是什么?Grammatical structure can lead to ambiguity.语法结构会引起歧义。本句可有两种解释,第一句是This fish is cooked or served,so ready for people to eat(鱼做好了或上桌了,可以吃了),或者The fish is ready to eat things(鱼准备好要吃食物了)。但是,假如说成what a nice smell! The fish is ready to eat,那么,fish一定是做好了可以吃了。
