Ambiguous vs Ambivalent

This 8-question quiz helps you tell apart two words that sound similar but mean different things: ambiguous and ambivalent.

Each item is a sentence with a blank to fill, like Anything that seems ___ appears to have more than one meaning.

The trick is what each word describes. Ambiguous is about something unclear or open to more than one meaning, while ambivalent is about having mixed feelings, so one points at the situation and the other at how you feel.

Recommended level: intermediate.
