Question

Fill in the blank with the appropriate verb:

If parking space _______ easily available near my office, I would come by my own car.

• A. was
• B. were
• C. is
• D. are

Answer 1

The correct option is B were

A verb is in the subjunctive mood if it expresses an action or state that is not reality. For example it might be hypothetical, wished for, or conditional.

The given sentence expresses a wishful thinking therefore, were will be used as the subjunctive of 'to be'. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Whereas other options cannot be used to express a sentence in a subjunctive mood. Therefore options A, C, D are incorrect.
