The army men or the commander-in-chief (A)/were not ready (B)/to accept defeat so easily, (C)/so they fought fiercely (D).
When a compound subject containing a singular and plural subject are connected by ‘or’ or ’nor’, the verb should agree with the part of sentence that is closest to the verb. So here, ‘was’ is correct because ‘commander-in-chief’ is singular. The army men or the commander-in-chief was not ready to accept defeat so easily, so they fought fiercely.
