Which statement is an example of the subjunctive mood?

  1. She wishes she were attending training.

  2. She is attending training today.

  3. She will attend training today.

  4. They play games every weekend.

The correct answer is: She wishes she were attending training.

The correct answer is A. "She wishes she were attending training." This statement is an example of the subjunctive mood because it expresses a hypothetical or unreal situation. In this case, the use of "were" after "she" instead of "was" indicates that the statement is contrary to reality. The subjunctive mood is used to express wishes, hypothetical situations, and recommendations. Options B, C, and D do not exhibit the subjunctive mood. Option B is a simple statement of fact in the present tense. Option C is a statement of a future event. Option D is a statement in the present tense indicating a habitual action.
