The sentence that shows ambiguity is:
“It wasn’t lying, not exactly.”
This sentence is ambiguous because the phrase "not exactly" leaves room for interpretation about what is meant by "lying" and implies that there may be some truth to the statement while also suggesting some level of deception. The nuances of what constitutes lying in this context are unclear.
