Which of the following is not a fallacy of Ambiguity?

Concept

Fallacies of ambiguity arise when an argument’s wording permits a shift or more than one interpretation that changes the apparent support. The ambiguity may be lexical, grammatical, or caused by emphasis.

Application

Accident concerns the misapplication of a general rule to an exceptional case, so its mechanism is rule-exception handling rather than an ambiguous expression. Therefore, the value that is not a fallacy of ambiguity is Accident.

Contrast

• Equivocation shifts the meaning of a word or phrase between parts of an argument.

• Amphiboly permits more than one reading because of a sentence’s grammatical structure.

• Accent changes the force of an expression through emphasis or quotation context.

Result: Accident is the required value.
