Key Points
- The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
- In English grammar, subject-verb agreement is the requirement that the subject and verb of a sentence must agree in number.
- In other words, if the subject is singular, the verb should be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb should be plural.
- In the given sentence, "students" is the subject and it is in plural form.
- However, the verb "asks" is in a singular form that doesn't agree with the subject. It should be in the plural form "ask" to match the subject-verb agreement.
- Thus, the correct answer is Option 1.
Correct Sentence: The students usually ask for a bonus time of thirty minutes for completing their projects.
