During a professional conversation, one colleague says:

"I was wondering if you could possibly send me the revised schedule by noon."

A learner interprets the sentence literally as a report about something the speaker was thinking about in the past.

Considering pragmatic meaning in everyday English, select the CORRECT interpretation.

(a)

The speaker is expressing uncertainty about whether the schedule exists and is requesting confirmation of its availability.

(b)

The speaker is indirectly criticising the listener for having failed to send the schedule before the conversation occurred.

(c)

The speaker is reporting a completed past thought and does not expect the listener to take any action.

(d)

The speaker is asking permission to prepare the schedule personally and uses the past progressive to indicate hesitation.

(e)

The speaker is making a mitigated request, using past and modal forms to reduce directness rather than primarily locate the request in past time.
