The correct answer is B If it stops raining, i'll go to the ball game.


Subjunctive is stating a fact that is backed up by an unsure if. IF it were to stop raining, only then, would he/she go to the ball game.

Answer:

The sentence that is in the subjunctive voice is A. I wish it were not raining.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subjunctive mood is used in dependent clauses to explore hypothetical situations or to express a suggestion, a wish or a demand. Some of the verbs that are oftenly used with the subjunctive mood are to ask, to insist, to demand, to recommend, to order, to wish and to suggest.

In this case, the sentence that meets these requirements is A. I wish it were not raining, because it expresses a wish. Since this sentence expresses a wish, the original was turns into were.
