Final answer:

Identifying the correct sentence in formal prose and correcting instances of incorrect pronoun usage.


Explanation:

The correct sentence in formal prose is: 'The girl who has the blue raincoat is the one we want to question.'

'Whomever is going out in the rain, please shut the door' should be corrected to 'Whoever is going out in the rain, please shut the door' as 'whoever' is the correct form when it is the subject of the clause.

'Are you talking to Janelle and I?' should be 'Are you talking to Janelle and me?' since 'me' is the correct object pronoun in this case.

In the sentence 'Janelle said that the argument between she and the girl in the blue raincoat was about a parking space,' 'she' should be replaced with 'her' as it is the object of the preposition 'between.'
