Ambiguity inspires interpretation. The ancient saying 'We are the measure of all things,' for instance, has been read by some thinkers as asserting human centrality and by others as a caution against arrogance.
The claim that ambiguity inspires interpretation plays which one of the following roles in the argument?
- It is the general thesis that the remainder of the passage is offered to illustrate and support.
- It is a competing view that the passage goes on to refute in its later sentences.
- It is a background fact the passage accepts without offering any supporting evidence.
- It is a premise advanced in support of a still broader claim about the nature of language.
- It is a concession the author makes before stating the passage's actual conclusion.
