Read this excerpt from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.
“I didn’t do it!” I hollered, but they didn’t even hear me, because they were playing music too loud and cracking up too much. I zipped myself all the way into the sleeping bag of myself, not because I was hurt, and not because I had broken something, but because they were cracking up. Even though I knew I shouldn’t, I gave myself a bruise.
Which statement best describes the ambiguity in this excerpt?
It is unclear whether Oskar gets caught in the closet.
It is unclear whether Oskar will sleep in the closet.
The source of the laughter is unclear.
The nature of the bruise is unclear.

The source of the laughter is unclear.
Explanation: The passage shows others "cracking up" and not hearing Oskar, but it doesn't say what they're laughing about, which creates the ambiguity.
