Answer 2

Mathematics was my favorite subject when I was in high school.

• The given sentence refers to an event that has been already occurred in the past, therefore the verb used should also be in past tense form.
• The verb "was" is in its past tense which fits in well in the sentence without changing the tense and the meaning of the sentence.
• The other options present does not fit in well with the sentence because the word "is" is not in past tense whereas the words "were", or "has" are in past tense but they are used when the sentence is in plural form.
