Choose ALL the polite and grammatically correct ways the student can ask their musical neighbor to lower the volume.
Excuse me, I'm taking a crucial online exam right now. ______ your tuba practice for an hour?
The correct answers are Would you mind pausing and Could you pause.
Both phrases are excellent for making polite requests. Would you mind (and Do you mind) must always be followed by the -ing form of the verb (pausing). Could you takes the base form of the verb without "to" (pause).
