Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. I started inventing things, and then I couldn't stop, like beavers,

which I know about. People think they cut down trees so they can build dams, but in reality it's because their teeth never stop growing, and if they didn't constantly file them down by cutting through all of those trees, their teeth would start to grow into their own faces, which would kill them. That's how my brain was. Which line best reflects the ambiguity of this excerpt?

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.
