Question
The army men or the commander-in-chief (A)/were not
ready (B)/to accept defeat so easily, (C)/so they fought fiercely (D). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the part with the error as your answer. If there is no error, mark ‘No error’ as your answer (Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any).Solution
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.
