(A) George, or Julie and Ben, is cool.
(B) George, or Julie and Ben, are cool.
Which one of these is correct?
With 'or', one should use the number of the closest noun(s) to the verb. But with the comma involved, which sentence is a better choice compared to the other?
Source: Me, wondering.

Both choices are bad (as per meaning).
Grammatically, B is wrong and A is better.
The commas after George and Ben indicate that the phrase 'or Julie or Ben' is non-essential.
That means the core sentence is
either "A. George is cool"
or "B. George are cool"
B is totally wrong, no further discussion needed. The subject and verb do not agree
