    i. When the sentence's ambiguity derives from its structure, we have a syntactically ambiguous claim.
    1. Syntactical ambiguity arises more often as the sentence grows more complex, for modifying phrases and pronouns leave room for multiple interpretations.
    ii. Grouping ambiguity occurs when the reference to a group of individuals may be taken as applying either to the individuals taken separately or to the group as a whole.
    1. This is a type of semantic ambiguity
    iii. We call the claim semantically ambiguous if its multiple meanings result from the ambiguity of a word or phrase.
    1. This is an ambiguity about what the parts of a claim mean when taken individually
    Hope this helps
