This statement includes both pronouns and verbs the listener must understand. We thought about inviting Lucy to come with us. The key goals of this exchange seem to be 1) matching the correct pronouns and 2) identifying the more important verb "invite". well that's harder to explain but I suspect you already have an intuitive feel for it :) The correct answer is number 4, whether or not the sentence is taken to imply whether Lucy was invited (though I'd agree with your understanding that it is implied that she wasn't), as the other replies do not follow from the sentence provided:Īnswer 1: "Does she think so?" asks what Lucy thinks about an already mentioned position on some matter, it does not make sense as a follow up question as our example sentence as no position is explicitly statedĪnswer 2: "Why did she?" asks about Lucy's reasons for doing something which she has just been mentioned as doing, this does not follow from the example sentence as Lucy is not reported to have done anything in that sentenceĪnswer 3: "Did they accept?" asks about a group's acceptance of something (possibly an invite), which doesn't follow from the example sentence as it does not pertain to a groupĪs for why their is an understood implication that Lucy was not asked.
