Correct Answer: No improvement required


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The sentence is grammatically correct and effectively conveys the intended meaning. The use of the subjunctive mood in the phrase as if he were a millionaire is appropriate, indicating a hypothetical or unreal situation. The construction as if he were is correct, and there is no need to make any improvement.
