Complete the supervillain's dramatic monologue.

"Fools! ____ to press this shiny red button, your entire beloved city would instantly turn into a giant wheel of cheddar cheese!"

The correct answer is Were I.

In advanced and formal English, we can drop the word "if" in a conditional sentence by inverting the subject and the subjunctive verb "were" (Were I... instead of If I were...).

"If I was" is grammatically incorrect for a formal hypothetical (and lacks the necessary "to" in this specific sentence structure), "Was I" is an incorrect inversion, and "Had I" would require a past participle (like Had I pressed) rather than the infinitive to press.
