Answer:
"I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers."
Explanation:
Ambiguity can be defined as a stated that has more meaning than one.
<u>The phrase that reflects the ambiguity in the excerpt is the first option that states </u><em><u>"I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers."</u></em>
The phrase is ambiguous because the narrator is trying to say that just like beavers never stop getting tired of chewing hardwoods because of new growing teeth, he is never tired of inventing things. When the narrator started inventing things he could not stop just like a beaver does not stop.
So, the correct option is the first one.
Lets begin with the definition of an idiom:
An idiom is a widely used saying or expression that contains a figurative meaning that is different from the phrase's literal meaning. For example, if you say you're feeling “under the weather,” you don't literally mean that you're standing underneath the rain.
To me "under the weather" means not feeling well, my assumption being that the rain is the symbolism for sadness.
