The sentence "The doctor phoned the nurse because she was late" can be continued in different ways depending on who "she" refers to:

**If "she" refers to the nurse:**
"The doctor phoned the nurse because she was late **for her shift and patients were waiting.**"

**If "she" refers to the doctor:**
"The doctor phoned the nurse because she was late **and needed the nurse to cover for her until she arrived.**"

This sentence is actually a classic example used in linguistics and AI research to illustrate pronoun ambiguity, where the referent of "she" is grammatically unclear without additional context.
