a. If we were to be hit by an iceberg, we would die.
b If my cat were to eat a mouse, it would be a predator.
c If I were never to go in the sun, I would be extremely pale.
Explanation:
Conditional tenses communicate hypothetical situations in the past, theories about what might have happened, what happens concerning facts that are always true, and events with a low probability to occur in the future.
The sentences in this exercise are using conditionals to talk about situations in the present or future that probably will not happen.
We use:
the word if + the subject + were to,.... + subject + would + verb in the infinitive....
In formal writing, we can use the subjects he, she, and it with the auxiliary were instead of was and then the verb in the infinitive. For example, If he were to fail his test, he would be sad.

"It glared down at Hector in disaproval."
The sun can't physically glare at someone.

Fortunately, in that moment of “desperate extremity,” the Powhatans brought food and rescued the starving strangers. A year later, several hundred more settlers arrived, and again they quickly ran out of provisions. They were forced to eat “dogs, cats, rats, and mice,” even “CORPSES” dug from graves. “Some have licked up the blood which hathfallen from their weak fellows,” a survivor reported. “One member of our colony murdered his wife, ripped the child out of her womb and threw it into the river, and after chopped the mother in pieces and salted her for his food, the same not being discovered before he had eaten part thereof.” “So great was our famine,” John Smith stated, “that a savage we slew and buried, the poorer sort took him up again and ate him; and so did diverse one another boiled and stewed with roots and herbs.”
