To identify the subjunctive mood in a sentence, you would look to see if it expresses a wish, a demand, or a hypothetical situation that is contingent upon another action. So the correct options would be:

  • Determine whether it expresses a wish.
  • Determine whether it makes a demand or an order.
  • Determine whether its action depends on another action.

The subjunctive mood often conveys situations that are not certain to happen, such as wishes ("I wish that he were here"), demands ("I suggest that she go to the doctor"), or conditional statements ("If he were to arrive...").
