Hi Barbara, I think in nos. 1 , 2 , and 5 , I would also accept conditional II as there is no definite time specified. conditionals are so confusing for our students that I like to give a very specific time or situation in order to avoid ambiguity, so in this exercise I see lots of options.
Have a great Shabat!

I also agree with Johanne.

I think that in written English or in testing situations, you should use "were." Were is more formal. However, in everyday conversation, "was" is often used.

But were is a little more usual than was in the advice form If I were/ was you I would/should . . .
