The sentence that uses the past tense verb "be" in the subjunctive mood is: "I wish he were more prolific." To identify this sentence, you can start by analyzing the use of the word "wish." When "wish" is followed by a verb in the past tense form, it indicates that the action is contrary to reality or unlikely. In this case, "were" is the past tense form of the verb "be," which is used to express a hypothetical or unreal condition. The other sentences do not have this specific construction.
