The ambiguity technique in literature is Sections of work can be interpreted in more than one way. Therefore option A is the correct response.
Ambiguity is the ability of a word, phrase, statement, or concept to be understood in more than one manner. When a sentence or statement contains unclear punctuation or syntactic structure, it is said to have syntactic ambiguity (the ordering of parts of the sentence).
Syntactic ambiguity, also known as structural ambiguity or grammatical ambiguity, in English grammar refers to the occurrence of two or more meanings that could apply to a single sentence or group of words, as opposed to lexical ambiguity, which refers to the occurrence of two or more meanings that could apply to a singleword.
When the author's intent isn't obvious, the writing is vague. But when anything is written that is straightforward but has several interpretations, it is said to be ambiguous.
