A mother beat her daughter because (her daughter) was drunk.

Logically, a mother would do this but there's a modicum of ambiguity in the statement.

okay. smiley
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by igbeke: 9:08pm On Jan 06, 2018
The sentence is faulty.
It should either be:
À Mother beat up her daughter because her daughter was drunk

Or:

A mother beat up her daughter because she (mother) was drunk.

Mother
Re: Test Your English Proficiency Here (picture) by Nobody: 9:09pm On Jan 06, 2018
Semantically, it's an ambiguous sentence. Both mother and daughter are correct

Lets view this question from this context


If Nigeria govt need N1billion DAILY for the next 365 days to finish a technically won war, how much did Buhari govt spend daily before they technically won the war on Boko Haram?

I doubt there's a correct answer. The sentence is ambiguous and can qualify the mother or the child as being drunk.
