    were

    The simple past of "be" is "was" when referring to the first person singular (I) and the third person singular (he/she/it). It is "were" when referring to the second person singular (you) and all plural subjects (we/they).

The last option, "was were," is incorrect as it combines both "was" and "were" in the same sentence, which is grammatically incorrect.
