Camping Trip Analysis
The question asks: how many people is Mrs Brown going to make a reservation for? We need to count Mrs Brown herself plus anyone who said yes.
Total People = Mrs Brown + ?
First, we have Mrs Brown. She is the organizer, so she is definitely going. That is one person.
Now let's look at her friends. Mrs Thomas says, I am busy but I cannot say no. This is an idiom that means she accepts the invitation. So we add her to the list.
Attendees
1. Mrs Brown (Organizer)
Mrs Thomas: "I can't say no" → YES
Next, Mrs Blue says, yeah, that would be great. This is a clear acceptance.
Mrs Blue: "That would be great" → YES
