Which of the following quotations from Chief Seattle's “Address” is correctly punctuated?

How does Marguerite finally get a job on the streetcars?

Kryger [21]

This is how Marguerite finally gets a job on the streetcars:

Marguerite does not accept rejection. She insists and persists. At first, the streetcar company tells her to go away because of her skin color. However, she keeps on coming back until they finally allow her to fill in an application.

After taking some tests, she finally becomes the first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco.

This question is about Marguerite Ann Johnson, also (and better) known as Maya Angelou.
Maya was determined to get a job as a streetcar conductor in San Francisco.
Her mother told her the company would never hire Maya because of her skin color.
At first, it seemed that her mother was right. Maya was indeed rejected for being black.
However, she insisted and persisted. She kept on coming back to the company.
They finally gave her a chance and, after passing the tests, Maya became the first black streetcar conductor in San Francisco.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

This question is missing the information in parenthesis. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

What would be the right choice of pronoun for the sentences below from the choices in the parenthesis? Also what would be the correct antecedent from the choices in parenthesis?

1. Neither of the men has decided which team ________. (he prefers or they prefer) Antecedent (Neither, team, or men)

2. Each of the short story writers has a style of ______ own. (her or their) Antecedent (writer, style, Each)

Answer:

For number 1, the correct choices are "he prefers" (pronoun) and "Neither" (antecedent).

For number 2, the correct choices are "her" (pronoun) and "Each" (antecedent).

Explanation:

In colloquial language, we tend to not pay much attention to this, but when the subject of a sentence is "neither" or "each", we must use singular pronouns to refers to it. Since it is common for those words to be followed by plural nouns, we get easily confused, and end up using plural pronouns.

1. Neither of the men has decided which team... --> Who has decided? Neither. Therefore, "neither" is the antecedent. Since it is singular, we must choose the singular option, "he prefers".

2. Each of the short story writers has a style of... own. --> Who has a style? Each. I know it sounds strange on its own, but "each" is the subject. Since it is singular, we must use "her", the singular pronoun, to complete the sentence.
