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 rival view the passage then goes on to challenge and refute in its later sentences.
- It is a settled background fact the passage simply accepts without offering any support at all.
- It is a premise advanced for a still broader, unstated claim about the nature of language itself.
- It is a preliminary concession the author makes before stating the passage's actual conclusion.
