Correct Answer: If things were not going to be normal
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
To maintain the tense consistency in the sentence, the auxiliary verb in the sentence should be changed from "were" to "are". The sentence conveys the meaning that if the circumstances in the world do not return to what was considered "normal" before the pandemic, people will need to embrace a "new normal".
The correct sentence is: "If things are not going to be normal after the pandemic, mankind will have to accept the new normal."
