Explanation:
Let’s read the email carefully and answer each question one by one.

G1. What is the email mainly about?
The email is a reply from Maribel to Olivia about borrowing a grill. Maribel says *yes*, Olivia can use her big grill on Saturday night, and she’ll bring it over Friday night before bed, along with all the supplies. So the main idea is agreeing to let Olivia borrow the grill and explaining when and how it will happen.

D2. When does Olivia want the grill?
The subject line says “Re: Borrowing your grill”, and in the message, Maribel writes: *“Yes, of course you can use my big grill Saturday night.”* That means Olivia wants to use it Saturday night.

I3. Why does Olivia want to borrow a big grill?
Maribel says: *“I will be using it Friday night because I am having a big family party just like you…”* The phrase “just like you” tells us Olivia is also having a big family party — that’s why she needs a big grill. So Olivia wants it for her own big family party.

Now, let’s write clear, short answers:

G1. The email is mainly about Maribel agreeing to let Olivia borrow her big grill for Saturday night and saying she’ll deliver it Friday night.

D2. Olivia wants the grill on Saturday night.

I3. Olivia wants to borrow a big grill because she is having a big family party (just like Maribel).

Final Answer:
G1. Maribel agrees to let Olivia borrow her big grill for Saturday night and explains she’ll bring it over Friday night.
D2. Saturday night
I3. Because Olivia is having a big family party.
