Which of the following uses the indicative mood?

A. I will feel flush after I get my very first paycheck for this job.
B. I am going to be very wealthy when I receive my inheritance.
C. If I were rich, I would get convertibles for us both.
D. If I win the lottery, I hope that you'll help me spend the money.
Is the answer C?

Which one states a fact, not a wish or a hope or an "if-only"?

B) because it indicates the subject will be wealthy

Yes, the correct answer is C. The indicative mood is used to express statements of fact, certainty, or reality. In this case, the sentence "If I were rich, I would get convertibles for us both" is not in the indicative mood. It is in the subjunctive mood, which is used to express hypothetical or unreal situations. To determine which sentence uses the indicative mood, you have to look for sentences that express statements of fact. In options A, B, and D, the sentences express certainty or reality, making them indicative mood statements. However, option C is a hypothetical situation, making it the correct answer.
