Answer Details
The correct option for this sentence is "were". This sentence is an example of a conditional sentence in the second conditional form. The second conditional is used to talk about unreal or unlikely situations in the present or future. The sentence means that the speaker is not actually the listener, but is imagining what they would do if they were the listener. The verb "to be" is irregular in the second conditional form and takes "were" for all persons (I, you, he/she/it, we, you, they). Therefore, the correct sentence is "I'd give up smoking, if I were you."
