Does this sentence work?
"They asked me what to do next."
If so, what does it mean?
1. They asked me what I will do next.
2. They asked me what I should do next.
3. They asked me what they should do next.
Thank you.

Number 3

(Different from, "They told me what to do next." in which case they told me what I should do next.)

They asked me what to do.
