B Natural answer

If I could choose three people for dinner, I would invite my mother, my oldest friend Lina, and my grandfather. My mother would keep the evening grounded, Lina would bring , and my grandfather would probably share that none of us have heard before. I like the idea of at the same table. It would feel warm and interesting, and I think everyone would learn something from each other. I would just try to listen and enjoy the moment.
