Can you determine the meanings of the following sentences? Explain and make somealterations in the context so as to pin down the meaning.
(a) The fish is ready to eat.
(b) I like Mary better than Jean.

The ambiguity arises from grammatical structure.
(a)It may mean "The fish is cooked or served so ready for people to eat"or "The fish is ready to eat things". However, in the context of"What a nice smell! The fish is ready to eat", fish definitely-means the former.
(b)It may mean "I like Mary better than I like Jean"or "I like Mary better than Jean likes Mary". To achieve clarity, we can either say"I like Mary better than Jean does" or" like Mary better than I do Jean""I like Mary better as Jean is untidy", etc.
