Question

If the house was less expensive, we would be able to buy it.

Which change corrects the sentence?
Change was to were.
Change was to was not.
Change would to wouldn’t.

Answer 1

The first one.
If the house were less expensive, we would be able to buy it.

Answer 2

Answer: A) Change was to were.

Step-by-step explanation: subjunctive is a mood of verbs that expresses what is imagined or wished or possible (something hypothetical). From the given options, the change that corrects the sentence, is the corresponding to option A: change was to were, because the sentence is expressing a hypothetical situation (a wish) so it should be in subjunctive mood, and the subjunctive of the verb to be is "were" the correct sentence would be: if the house were less expensive, we would be able to buy it.
