Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence: If I was the queen, I would give a handsome sum towards education.

Question

Accepted Answer

The sentence is a hypothetical conditional statement. In such cases, the correct structure is: 'If + subject + were + ... , subject + would + ...'. The use of 'were' (not 'was') is grammatically correct for all subjects in hypothetical or unreal situations (subjunctive mood). Therefore, the correct answer is 'were the queen'.
