How they are correct?

Hi. In the book named "Leading Little Ones to God" by Marian M. Schoolland, In Part three, Number 16, titled "God Made Us Good," I saw these two sentences:

There are men and women, boys and girls. There are "red and yellow, black and white" people.

Could you tell me how the underlined parts could be correct grammatically?

There are men and women, boys and girls. There are "red and yellow, black and white" people.

There are men and women, boys and girls. There are "red and yellow, black and white" people. T here are men and women, boys and girls = There are men, women, boys, and girls There are "red and yellow, black and white" people.

  • There are men and women, boys and girls.
  • There are "red and yellow, black and white" people.
  • T here are men and women, boys and girls = There are men, women, boys, and girls There are "red and yellow, black and white" people.
  • = There are "red, yellow, black, and white" people It is merely a style choice, often used by writers to make a list more interesting to read.
