What is the ambiguity technique in literature? Sections of a work can be interpreted in more than one way. The author’s writing cannot be clearly understood. The author deliberately chooses a confusing title. Multiple books on the same theme are written by two different authors.

The correct answer is A. Sections of a work can be interpreted in more than one way

Step-by-step explanation:

The word "ambiguity" means uncertainty, incertitude or double meaning. In literature, ambiguity is used as a technique in which the author creates phrases, sentences, ideas or sections that can have at least two interpretations which is known as double entendre. This is commonly used by writers to create a more complex meaning, to allow the reader to interpret an idea in the way he or she wants or to create humor. Additionally, ambiguity differs from vagueness because in ambiguity there are limited interpretations while in vaguenesses ideas are not clear and it is not possible to understand or interpret the author. Considering this, it can be concluded ambiguity as a literary technique refers to sections of a work can be interpreted in more than one way.
