Essay & Composition Writing
Get hired or prizes
I wrote a short essay.
"""""""Only few people are chosen. They get hired or prizes"""""""""
If past particlple comes after "or", I know a verb before or/and can be omitted. ex) They get hired or paid)
What I'd like to know is whether a verb can be omitted if a noun comes after or/and just like the sentence underlined above
They get hired or prizes / / / / /They get hired or get prizes. Which is correct? or Is both correct?

Thank you for your answer.
Here's a similar question to the original.
He was a publisher, and thought of printing a guide to letter writing for middle-class ladies.
You said "~~get hired and get prizes." is only the correct form.

He was a publisher, and was thought of printing a ~~
He
