Red face What is a indefinite pronoun?

I'm Having to take this english test for High school and I have totally forgotten what a Indefinite pronoun is. Here's the sentence.

Neither the pastors____ the plane. I have to chose from:flies and fly.

I will prolly laugh when someone tells me the answer.

The sentence is not quite right.

IT is either:
NEither of the pastors fly/flies...
or
Neither pastor flies...

Well, I was confused about that too. But, thats is what the test said and I kinda felt stupid. I asked my parents and they said they didnt know. But thanks for the help.
