The document discusses rules for verb agreement in sentences with compound subjects connected with "either...or". It states that the verb should agree in number with the closer subject. It provides two examples where the verb agrees with the subject closer to it, making both sentences grammatically correct. It also provides examples of identifying the antecedent in sentences using "who" and "one".

This rule says that in the case of compound subjects in “either…or” constructions, the verb should agree in number with the subject closer to it.
