"We will oil your sewing machine and adjust tension in your home for $10.00."
This sentence is from the book, "Introduction to Language" by Fromkin. The author presented this sentence while explaining about structuratal ambiguity. He hinted that the ambiguity of the sentence has to do with different groupings but I cannot seem to understand. What are the two intepretations and how?
Thank you
