Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Was should be replaced with were to convey the intended meaning that the speaker would not trust him even if he were a God.

There is an error in the use of the auxiliary verb in the sentence. Using were in the past subjunctive mood expresses a hypothetical situation.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Even if he were a God, I would not trust him.
