What is Syntactic Ambiguity in the context of NLP?

A)  Ambiguity of single word
B)  Ambiguity of phrase of a sentence
C)  Both (A) and (B)
D)  Ambiguity of a sentence

Correct Answer :   Ambiguity of a sentence


Explanation : When a sentence can be parsed in multiple ways, the ambiguity caused is termed as Syntactic Ambiguity. Consider the case in the following sentence, 'Man saw a boy with a magnifying glass'. Here the sentence is ambiguous as to whether the man saw a boy carrying a magnifying glass or man saw the boy with the help of a magnifying glass.
