Correct Answer: I were young again


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The original sentence, "If only I was young again " , uses the past tense " was " in a subjunctive mood. When expressing a hypothetical or contrary-to-fact condition in the present or future, it's common to use the past tense form "were ".

So, the correct sentence should be: "If only I were young again."
