Chose the most appropriate statement according to the grammatical analysis of the following dialog:

In a fast-food restaurant:

Waitress: May I help?

Marissa: I’m just waiting for someone.

(The OC, Third Season, Episode 9)

The modal verb use is appropriate for the situation and the answer can be understood as “no” thanks to pragmatics conventions.

The modal verb use is appropriate, but the answer is not because yes/no questions must be answered with either “yes” or “no”.

It is safe to say that the waitress is British while Marissa is American, since the latter does not respect grammar rules. Besides, Americans do not use “may” to ask for permission.

This dialog shows how poor understanding teenagers have from grammar rules these days.
