Correct Answer: The students usually asks


Solution : The error lies in the first option.

The verb "asks" does not agree in number with the plural subject "students". In English, when the subject is plural, the verb should also be in the plural form as per the subject-verb agreement, which is "ask" in this case. The correct form should be "The students usually ask".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The students usually ask for a bonus time of thirty minutes for completing their projects.
