I, John , _________ an honest man.
Answer: A
The verb is am: I, John, am an honest man.
John is in apposition to I; it names the speaker but does not replace the subject. The subject is still the first person pronoun I, and the present tense of be that agrees with I is am.
Is would agree with John as a third person subject, which is the trap the commas set. Were is plural or subjunctive and wrong here. Will be shifts the statement to the future, which does not suit a description of the speaker's character.
