Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is 'no error'.(Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).
Solution
The sentence is : When I were a newspaper journalist, I always relied on the news editor and the subs to put things right.
In this sentence, the error is in the first part. The verb "were" is incorrect here because in this case, it's used with "I" in a normal past tense sentence, not in a subjunctive or hypothetical context. In case of hypotgeticals or subjunctive mood, we use I were, otherwise we use I was. Herfe "I was" should have been used.
So the correct answer is Option A.
