- CI was wondering whether it might be possible to have a short extension, as I have been unwell.
Талдау
The situation requires a formal, polite and indirect request to a person of higher status. 'I was wondering whether it might be possible to have a short extension, as I have been unwell' uses a tentative indirect structure, no contractions, neutral vocabulary and a clear reason. 'Could you give me more time? I've been ill...' is polite but too conversational: it has contractions, a blunt statement and a casual 'sorry'. 'I demand an extension...' is formal in vocabulary but impolite and inappropriate for a student addressing a professor. 'Just extend the deadline, please, mate...' is slang and too familiar. So only 'I was wondering whether it might be possible to have a short extension, as I have been unwell.' fits both the formality and the politeness required.
