Words that have multiple meanings can lead to lexical ambiguity. The word 'mean' itself is a prime example of this phenomenon in English. Considering its various uses, identify the correct statement.

When 'mean' refers to a mathematical average, it must always be preceded by the definite article 'the' and followed by a plural verb.

The word 'mean' can function as a verb (signify), an adjective (unkind), or a noun (average), illustrating how word class and context dictate meaning.

Ambiguity caused by words with multiple meanings is a flaw of the English language that should be avoided by using only scientific Latin terms in conversation.

The meaning of 'mean' as 'intend' can only be used in the future perfect continuous tense, being ungrammatical in the simple present.

In all contexts, the word 'mean' is synonymous with 'generous', as English grammar prohibits a single word from having opposite connotations.
