Hi Elif, let's look at this table about Kate's friends and their response to her invitation to find which statement is correct.
Analyzing Responses
First, let's evaluate Option A: All friends accept the invitation. If we look at Tom, he says he is at a basketball match and asks to meet next Tuesday. This means he is refusing the current invitation, so Option A is incorrect.
~~A) All friends accept the invitation.~~
Now, let's check Option B: Bruce wants to meet in the evening. Looking at the table, Bruce's available time is from twelve to seventeen hundred hours, which is noon until five p.m. In his response, he even says, Let's meet early. So, he does not want to meet in the evening.
~~B) Bruce wants to meet in the evening.~~
