This note is in reference to the grading comment:
OK for the translation but no for the grammar. “this court” is both the beginning and subject of the “subordinate noun clause”. Additionally, the verb of the subordinate clause (grant) is in the subjunctive mood because of the verb of the main clause “prays”. Please double check and let me know.

  -> Gramattically, I don't agree with you. If "this court" is subject, the asker would not choose Nesrin's answer. It's is the asker who can determine which is the subject and object of the sentence. Thanks a lot.
