Answer 1

My aunt and uncle usually sends me a picture postcard when they travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is how it should be read:

My aunt and uncle usually send me a picture postcard when they travel.

Answer 2

A. My aunt and uncle usually sends me a picture postcard when they travel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject is My aunt and uncle. This phrase can be replaced with the pronoun they because we have two people here who send me a postcard. So the verb number needs to be changed in order to agree with the number of the subject: it should be send, not sends.

In other words, use a plural verb with two or more subjects when they are connected by and.
