ambiguity?
1. Students in pairs practice a phone conversation focusing on asking to do something together and answering it after school or on the weekends.
Can #1 have another meaning apart from this intended one? (I worry about the location of the underlined part.)
"student A asks student B about going to the mall on Saturday and student B answers it".
My question is #1 can read like "student A asks student B about going to the mall on Saturday and student B answers it after school or on the weekends, and not right after he/she is asked from student A."
