Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.She said, “Ron is a great person,” which was an answer to a question I didn’t ask. So I asked again. “True or false: you are in love with Ron.” She put her hand with the ring on it in her hair and said, “Oskar, Ron is my friend.” Which statement best describes the ambiguity in this excerpt?
Answer
A
It is unclear whether Oskar’s mom is bothered by his questions.
B
It is unclear whether the conversation is one they have had before.
C
It is unclear whether or not Oskar’s mom enjoys Ron’s company.
D
It is unclear whether the ring is from Ron or from Oskar’s dad.
Explanation
The excerpt mentions that Oskar’s mom has a ring on her hand, but it never says who gave it to her. Because she describes Ron as her friend without directly answering whether she is in love with him, the ring’s connection to Ron or to Oskar’s dad remains unclear. So the best description is that the ring’s giver is ambiguous.
