cHiLl y'all don't get too aggressive LOL
Both are incorrect.
1. "agree in number and person" — "number means both are singular or both are plural; "person" means both are in 1st person or both are in 2nd person or both are in 3rd person.
In the sentence you chose, what does "they" refer to?
2. "subject-verb agreement" means that both subject and verb are in singular form or that both are in plural form. Find a singular subject that also has a singular verb form.
uh ok

To find the sentence that has a pronoun and antecedent that agree in number and person, we need to identify the pronoun and its antecedent in each sentence.
1. "Our neighbors are celebrating his son’s birthday today."
In this sentence, the pronoun "his" does not agree with its antecedent "our neighbors" because "his" implies a singular possessive pronoun, while "our neighbors" is plural.
2. "My cousin is getting married, and she is very excited."
This sentence displays correct pronoun-antecedent agreement. "She" is the pronoun that agrees with the antecedent "my cousin" in both number (singular) and person (third person).
3. "My mom gave me a new book because they have an interesting plot twist."
In this sentence, the pronoun "they" does not agree with its antecedent "my mom" because "they" is plural, while "my mom" is singular.
4. "Kerry and Sarah wanted to get a pizza, but she did not agree on the topping."
In this sentence, the pronoun "she" does not agree with its antecedents "Kerry and Sarah" because "she" implies a singular person while "Kerry and Sarah" is plural.
Therefore, the second sentence "My cousin is getting married, and she is very excited" has a pronoun and antecedent that agree in number (singular) and person (third person).
To determine the sentence that displays correct subject-verb agreement:
1. "The herd of cattle are huge!"
In this sentence, the verb "are" does not agree with its subject "the herd," which is singular. The correct verb should be "is."
2. "The staff at the library are very helpful."
This sentence displays correct subject-verb agreement. "The staff" is a plural subject, and the verb "are" agrees with it in number.
3. "The crew of workers are finishing the job."
In this sentence, the verb "are" does not agree with its subject "the crew," which is singular. The correct verb should be "is."
4. "My collection of stamps is extensive."
This sentence displays correct subject-verb agreement. "My collection" is a singular subject, and the verb "is" agrees with it in number.
Therefore, the fourth sentence "My collection of stamps is extensive" displays correct subject-verb agreement.
