How to have an if statement with more than 2 strings

C#

Basically I know this is probably so simple.... But I want to have an if statement that checks if the entered word matches 3 values in an array... if they are then they get added to a list..


Below is the code that i'm talking about and also the code for the rest of the class.. (not the entire project, too big)

public static string PlayerSelectsItem(string word, object[] args)
        {
            if (word ==  "torch", "shield", "sword" )
            {
                GameEngine.Instance.RemoveItemFromRoom(word);
                Inventory.AddItem(word);
                Inventory.PrintItems();
                Console.WriteLine();
                return "MOVE_OR_PICK";  // Don't change action
            }
            else
            {
                Console.WriteLine("The item does not exist");
            }
            return "";

        }
