- The subjunctive mood is used to express wishes, hypothetical situations, or conditions contrary to fact.
- In this sentence, the speaker is expressing a wish that is contrary to the current reality.
- Option 1 (am) is incorrect because "am" is used in the present indicative mood, not the subjunctive mood.
- Option 3 (was) is incorrect because "was" is used in the indicative mood and not in hypothetical or wishful contexts.
- Option 4 (will be) is incorrect because it refers to a future possibility, not a wish in the present.
- Option 1: "am" is used for present reality and does not fit the subjunctive mood.
- Option 3: "was" is incorrect in subjunctive sentences because "were" is the preferred form for all subjects.
- Option 4: "will be" is used for future possibilities, not wishes or hypotheticals in the present.
