Explanation

Statement 1 is correct: language ambiguity in communication arises from the incorrect use of words.

Loose or wrong word choice lets a message be read in more than one way.

Statement 2 is correct: informal time terms lead to different interpretations among people.

Words like soon, later or in a while mean different spans to different listeners.

Imprecise wording and vague time terms both breed misunderstanding.

Clear, precise language reduces such ambiguity in communication.
