Complete the student's email asking their professor for a deadline extension. Select ALL the polite and grammatically correct options that apply to fill in the blank.
Dear Professor, my pet iguana chewed through my laptop charger this morning. _____ give me an extra day to submit my essay?

The correct answers are I was wondering if you could and Would it be possible for you to.

When asking for a big favor, indirect requests are much more polite. "I was wondering if you could" and "Would it be possible for you to" are excellent, professional choices. The other options contain grammatical errors ("wondering if you to" is missing a verb, and "possible that you" is unnatural phrasing for a request).
