Words that have multiple meanings can lead to lexical ambiguity. The word 'mean' itself is a prime example of this phenomenon in English. Considering its various uses, identify the correct statement.
- AWhen 'mean' refers to a mathematical average, it must always be preceded by the definite article 'the' and followed by a plural verb.
- BThe word 'mean' can function as a verb (signify), an adjective (unkind), or a noun (average), illustrating how word class and context dictate meaning.
- CAmbiguity caused by words with multiple meanings is a flaw of the English language that should be avoided by using only scientific Latin terms in conversation.
- DThe meaning of 'mean' as 'intend' can only be used in the future perfect continuous tense, being ungrammatical in the simple present.
- EIn all contexts, the word 'mean' is synonymous with 'generous', as English grammar prohibits a single word from having opposite connotations.
