If David were walking quickly, he might be on time.

Answer 2

The sentence in which the underlined verb is in subjunctive mood is: if david were walking quickly, he might be on time. The subjunctive mood is needed to state about either conditional or imaginary situations. This sentence is a bit similar to the meaning of second conditional because it expresses a supposition or something hypothetical so it is suitable because it follows the main usages of subjunctive mood.
