Back to paper

Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
If I ______ you, I would take the feedback positively.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. were.

 

Explanation:

  • This sentence is an example of the subjunctive mood, which is used to talk about imaginary or hypothetical situations.

  • Even though “I” is singular, we use “were” (not “was”) in such cases.

Rule to Remember:

Use “were” with “if I” when you are imagining something that isn’t real.

Example:

  • If I were a bird, I would fly.

  • If she were here, she would help.

Final Sentence: If I were you, I would take the feedback positively.

Hence, the chosen option will be correct.
