- The original sentence is in the subjunctive mood, used to express hypothetical situations.

- "If my uncle were here now" suggests a situation that is not real or is unlikely to be true.

- Option 1: "would know" is the correct choice. It matches the subjunctive mood and is appropriate for hypothetical present situations.

- Option 2: "would have known" is for past hypothetical situations that did not happen.

- Option 3: "will know" is used for strong future predictions, not hypothetical situations.

- Option 4: "will be knowing" is incorrect for this context as it suggests a future continuous action.
