the control circuitry is further configured to
receive an additional reply, wherein the additional reply is a reply to the response that was generated for output based on the reply to the disambiguating query; and
generate for output an additional disambiguating query based on the additional reply; and

the control circuitry is configured to generate the disambiguating query by:
identifying a plurality of attributes of each of the first object and the second object;
generating a plurality of candidate disambiguating queries based on the first object and the second object; and
selecting as the disambiguating query a candidate disambiguating query of the plurality of candidate disambiguating queries that is likely to disambiguate the query with the fewest number of additional disambiguating queries.
