Ambiguous Sentences

In chapter two of the book, "Critical Thinking" by Richard L. Epstein, he discusses the issues of ambiguous sentences in an argument. As Epstein defines, an ambiguous sentence is a sentence that can be understood in two or a very few dubious ways. During our first couple weeks in class, as I came across the section reading about ambiguous sentences, It was easy to understand, but I remember I was having a difficult time stating an example of an ambiguous sentence. The week we were assigned to read chapter two, one of the blogs were to write about a vague or ambiguous sentence, I read the examples of ambiguous sentence over and over, but couldn't come up with an example so decided to blog about vague sentences instead, which was the other choice for that post. I did some web research and came across some very detailed examples that made it very easy to understand. The website provided various examples of ambiguous sentences and provided explanation, here is the link for the website, Ambiguous sentences.
