Studies suggest that attack by a Grignard reagent at a carbonyl group is facilitated by involvement of a second molecule

Question:

Studies suggest that attack by a Grignard reagent at a carbonyl group is facilitated by involvement of a second molecule of the Grignard reagent that participates in an overall cyclic ternary complex. The second molecule of Grignard reagent assists as a Lewis acid. Propose a structure for the ternary complex and write all of the products that result from it.
