Inversion in second conditional
Hello,
How to paraphrase the sentence below using inversion in a conditional sentence?
Original sentence:
"If Mary happened to go on holiday to Iceland, I'm sure she would get hooked and started travelling more."
Target:
"_____________________________on holiday to Iceland, I'm sure she would get hooked and started travelling more."
1) Were she to have happened to go....
2) Were she to go on.....
3) Should she have gone on.....
4) Should she go....
or a different version?
I'd be grateful for your help

Anonymous or a different version? None of those 4 answers is correct because none of them includes the name 'Mary'.

You're right, I haven't noticed that. So if we take all of my answers (1-4) again into consideration with name "Mary" instead of the pronoun "she" is any of those answers correct? I realize the past tense form of the verb "started" is incorrect but that's what's written in the original version of the task so I copied it as it is.
