Explanation:

The subjunctive mood expresses a wish, a suggestion, even a command. It is used with verbs such as wish, demand, suggest, recommend, insist, and order. Among the sentences provided in the question, only the first one is in the subjunctive mood: 1. The little girl wished that she would get a pony for Christmas.

The other sentences are all in the conditional mood. This mood expresses a fact - real or hypothetical - that depends on a certain condition to happen. The clause in which the condition is stated often begins with the conjunction "if". Let's choose one of the sentence above to take a look:

If I had a car, I would drive across the country to the ocean --> For me to be able to drive across the country, a car would be needed. Only if I met that condition would I get that result.
