    Fill up the blank with the correct option. I wish I _________ a King.
    Question

    Fill up the blank with the correct option.
    I wish I _________ a King.

    A.

    Was

    B.

    Am

    C.

    Is

    D.

    Were

    Correct option is D

    Correct usage: "I wish I were a king."
    Rule:
    · In subjunctive mood, we use "were" instead of "was" after "I" to express a hypothetical or unreal situation.
    Example:
    · I wish she were here.
    · If I were rich, I would travel the world.
    Meanings of other options:
    · (a) Was (Incorrect: "Was" is used in normal past tense, but this is a hypothetical situation.)
    · (b) Am (Incorrect: "Am" is present tense, but the sentence expresses a wish.)
    · (c) Is (Incorrect: "Is" is singular present tense, not used in subjunctive mood.)
    Thus, the correct answer is option (d) "Were."
