Choose the option that best completes the sentence.
Maryam, the girl in my neighbourhood, treats people as if she _____ better than they are.
- has
-
were
- is
- was
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
The sentence uses a hypothetical situation (Maryam treating people as if she is better than they are), and in such cases, we use the subjunctive mood, which requires the verb "were" instead of "is" or "was" when expressing unreal or hypothetical conditions.
