The correct answer is 'If she had an invite, she would have attended.'

Key Points

• This sentence provides a hypothetical scenario that didn't happen in the past and its consequential outcome that therefore didn't happen either. This requires the use of the third conditional structure in English grammar.
• The third conditional requires the use of 'had' + past participle in the 'if' clause to express the unreal past condition and 'would have' + past participle in the main clause to express the hypothetical outcome.
• Therefore, 'has' should be replaced with 'had,' and 'was attend' replaced with 'would have attended.'
• Option 1 correctly uses the third conditional structure.
• The other options use different tense structures which aren't suitable in this context.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

The correct answer is: he must have studied well

Key Points

• The original sentence suggests that Raju did well in the exam, but there is a possibility that he did not study well.
• The phrase "must have" is used to express a strong possibility or probability in the past.
• The correct substitute, "he must have studied well" uses the past perfect tense to indicate that Raju's success was a result of his prior studying.
• It clarifies the cause-and-effect relationship between Raju's preparation and his performance in the exam. 
• Therefore, using "must have studied well" in the sentence implies that it is highly likely that Raju studied well, which correlates with his good performance in the exam.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

Improved sentence: Raju did very well in the exam, he must have studied well.

Additional Information

• "he may study well" suggests a possibility for future action, but it does not address the past performance in the exam.
• "he should have studied well" implies that Raju did not study well, which contradicts the original statement that he did well in the exam.

• As per the above explanation it is clear that the correct answer is "Option 3".
