The sentence that uses the past tense verb "be" in the subjunctive mood is: "I wish he were more prolific."
To determine if a verb is in the subjunctive mood, we often look for sentences that express a hypothetical or contrary-to-fact condition. In this case, the verb "were" is used instead of "was" in the phrase "he were more prolific." This use of "were" with a singular subject is a characteristic of the subjunctive mood.
