Created page with "I don't think this is correct: "Another possibility of the ambiguity is that the author, E. B. White, was saved from being slaughtered by Charlotte." The ambiguous sentence i..."

New page

I don't think this is correct: "Another possibility of the ambiguity is that the author, E. B. White, was saved from being slaughtered by Charlotte."

The ambiguous sentence is: 'Charlotte's Web is a children's novel by American author E. B. White, about a pig named Wilbur who is saved from being slaughtered by an intelligent spider named Charlotte.'

"American author E. B. White" and "who is saved..." are separated by "about a pig named Wilbur" which references the novel.

So the relative clause "who is saved..." cannot reference "American author E. B. White".
