Answer: If he were taller, he would join the basketball team

Explanation The sentence " If he were taller, he would join the basketball team " correctly uses the subjunctive mood. In this construction, " were " is the subjunctive form of the verb "to be." The subjunctive mood is often used to express hypothetical or unreal situations, wishes, suggestions, or conditions that are contrary to fact. In this case, the speaker is presenting a hypothetical condition ( if he were taller ) and its potential result ( he would join the basketball team ). The use of " were " in the if-clause reflects the unreal or hypothetical nature of the statement, making it an appropriate application of the subjunctive mood.
