6 potential points
the detectives will invite the scene of the crime.
they often invite me to dinner.
the citizens were concerned that our country would invite theirs.
he wanted to invite the girl to go to the dance with him.
the guards will invite you into the building if you dont have identification

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the correct usage of "invite". The meaning of "invite" is to ask someone to go to an event, come to a place, etc. Let's check each sentence:

1. "The detectives will invite the scene of the crime." – "Invite" can't be used with "scene of the crime" (illogical, as you can't "invite" a place).
2. "They often invite me to dinner." – Correct usage (asking to go to dinner).
3. "The citizens were concerned that our country would invite theirs." – "Invite" doesn't fit here (countries don't "invite" other countries in this context; likely a wrong word like "invade" was intended).
4. "He wanted to invite the girl to go to the dance with him." – Correct usage (asking the girl to go to the dance).
5. "The guards will invite you into the building if you don’t have identification." – Illogical, as guards wouldn't "invite" someone without ID into a building (they'd stop them).

So the correct sentences (with proper "invite" usage) are:

• They often invite me to dinner.
• He wanted to invite the girl to go to the dance with him.

(If the task is to select the correct ones, these two are the valid ones based on standard "invite" usage.)
