Discussion
Choose the most appropriate option to fill in the blank in the given sentence.
They are very kind to me. They treat me __________ their own son.
Answer: D
The correct phrase is as if I were.
'As if' introduces an imaginary or unreal comparison: they treat me as though I were their son, though I am not. For such unreal situations English uses the subjunctive were for all persons: as if I were, as if he were.
'As if I was' is common in casual speech but is not the standard form the question asks for. 'Like I am' states a fact rather than a comparison, and 'as if I will be' uses the wrong tense.
