Since the reader doesn't know the gender of the person, in modern English we we use sex-neutral THEY, them etc.

A person.
Can anybody give me some explanation on this: what pronoun is used with the word "person", and is it plural or singular?
I've always thought it's "they". Even when we talk about a single hypothetical person.
Example:
"If a person is granted great power for too long, they have a good chance of going mad eventually."
So, here we have it as singular in the first part and as plural in the second one. Is that even correct?

As for the first part, PERSON is a countable noun, so it requires IS.
