Dmight have been

Answer:

C. were

Read Explanation:

  • The phrase "as if" is used to describe a situation or condition that is not actually true but is imagined or compared.
  • When using "as if" to describe a hypothetical or unreal situation, especially in the present, "were" is used for all subjects (singular and plural). / ഒരു സാങ്കൽപ്പികമോ അയഥാർത്ഥമോ ആയ സാഹചര്യം വിവരിക്കുന്നതിന് "as if" ഉപയോഗിക്കുമ്പോൾ, പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് വർത്തമാനകാലത്ത്, "were" എന്നത് എല്ലാ വിഷയങ്ങൾക്കും (ഏകവചനവും ബഹുവചനവും) ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു.
  • "Was" is used for past tense in statements of fact or real conditions, not for hypothetical situations.
  • Example: "He was rich." (This is a statement of fact, not hypothetical.)
