Question:

Select the option which is the most appropriate one word substitution for the given group of words.

Statement open to more than one interpretation

Options:

ambrosial

ambidextrous

ambushed

ambiguous

Correct Answer:

ambiguous

Explanation:
 

The most appropriate option which is the one-word substitution for the given group of words "statement open to more than one interpretation" is ambiguous.

  • Ambrosial means delicious or extremely pleasing to the senses.
  • Ambidextrous means able to use both hands equally well.
  • Ambushed means attacked by surprise from a concealed position.
  • Ambiguous means open to or having several possible meanings or interpretations.

The word ambiguous is the most appropriate because it specifically refers to a statement that can be interpreted in more than one way. The other words do not have the same connotation of being a statement that is open to interpretation.
