to which she simply indicates

Posted by Nightedge · June 11, 2015 · 2 replies

-Her colleagues find it amazing that she works so hard for no money, to which she simply indicates that she loves basketball and wants to pass on her enthuiasm to younger players.

Do you think it's wrong and it should be 'in answer/response to which, she indicated that...'?

No it's fine. I don't like indicates though - I'd replace it with answers unless the context justifies it :

Her colleagues find it amazing that she works so hard for no money, to which she simply answers that she loves basketball and wants to pass on her enthusiasm to younger players.

The use of the present simple is a bit odd here - but as I've said before, without knowing the extended context, it's impossible to evaluate language use accurately. It would make more sense with eg always : Her colleagues always find it... etc

Good answer. Thank you.
