Suggested: Upcoming government exams
Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The error lies in the use of the verb "was". In this type of conditional sentence, where the situation is contrary to reality, the subjunctive mood is used. In the subjunctive mood, "were" is used instead of "was" after "if" to indicate a hypothetical or unreal condition.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: If I were he, I wouldn't accept the offer.
