Some say, it has two answers. Some say it's the mother who's drunk, and yet some say it's the daughter who's drunk.

It's the daughter of course.

Could be mother or daughter, the sentence is vague.

OVA200:
It's the daughter of course.

Lol.... So it's only daughters that get drunk these days abi?

Chenzee:

Don't mind me too much African magic will not kill me.

both of them na

Why did she beat up her daughter?

The daughter....from the sentence construction.

The statement is ambiguous because of the personal pronoun She
The drunk could either be the mother or daughter

this is just ambiguity

OVA200:
Don't mind me too much African magic will not kill me.

I thought I'm the only guy that still has time for Naija movies...So Naija home videos speak incorrect or ambiguous English kenan or wot?

A mother is the subject

Beats up her daughter, which is the object

Because she was drunk, She is a subject also.

So, the mother was drunk.


You don't beat a drunken person because he/she doesn't know what's happening around him/her, but a drunken person could beat a person in his/her sane mind.

The daughter was drunk, that was why the mother beats her up.

Inconclusive synopsis.

They were talking about the mother here na. If i beat you because you were drunk That's bullshit! She beat her daughter. Why? Because she was drunk. Simple!

Wonder why these people are confused. The sentence itself gave us the reason why the action was taken. Just like ... He beat up his son because he was angry. Why did he beat up his son? Because he was angry. Why did she beat up her daughter? Because obviously she was drunk (daughter could be 20 and above so...)

"Drunk" is an adjective which qualifies d noun,so the mother is drunk,that was d reason she beat up d daughter

We are saying the same thing. Its rare to see a mother beating her daughter who is 20 and above..u get?

the mom

When you see this question for IELTS exam with both as option,pick am eh....U hear

The sentence itself is very wrong.
No use of comma.

If it's the daughter that's drunk, a comma should be placed after daughter: "A mother beats up her daughter, because she was drunk". If it's the mother that's drunk , the sentence will have to be modified e.g " A drunk mother beats up her daughter"

its the mother. beating her daughter due to shayo (not in her right mind).

The mother is the answer...

To remove the lexical ambiguity,report the speech by putting who was drunk in bracket thus- because she (the mother)was drunk or on the other hand because she (the daughter)was drunk

The op is drunk
