Explanation:

The correct answer is Each of the four army soldiers was ready for the mission.

Was is the linking verb and ready is adjective in this sentence.

What is linking verb?

Verbs that link one subject to more details about that subject are known as linking verbs. They only "link" the subject with the rest of the phrase rather than performing any action. The most frequent connecting verb is the verb to be, but there are numerous more as well as all the sense verbs.

What is Adjective?

A noun is often modified by an adjective to express a quality of the object called, to show its number or extent, or to specify the thing as different from something else. Adjectives are words belonging to one of the primary form classes in any of many languages.

In the question was is linking verb which is in past tense as because each of the four army soldiers means one soldier and this is singular form.

And ready is adjective which adjectifies the soldier.

So the correct option is was ready.
