E. In his first book, originally published in 1992, revered journalist and author Ruben Martinez explores the street-artist culture in Los Angeles and its I spent 1'07'' to solve this problem and chose answer choice (E). The answer choices have a 3-2 split between "their" and "its". Since the object is street-artist culture, a singular noun, it is incorrect to use the possessive adjective "their". Therefore, answer choices (A), (B), and (D) can be eliminated. I chose (E) because I think it is quite similar to an OG problem ( thelonious-monk-who-was-a-jazz-pianist-and-composer-127087.html) in that a noun that is used to describe someone's occupation is placed before that person's name and without a comma. I don't think it's a rule but rather a special idiom. What's the OA?
