Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Correct alternative: A team of doctors
Rewritten sentence: A team of doctors from the GEM Hospital has successfully performed complete robotic kidney transplantation.
Why this is correct:
Use the indefinite article "A" because the sentence introduces the team for the first time; "The" would imply a specific, previously mentioned team.
The noun "team" is a collective noun and is treated as singular here, so the singular verb "has" is correct.
Use the plural "doctors" to refer to multiple individuals; "doctor" (singular) would be incorrect in this context.
Omitting the article (writing just "Team of doctors") is not appropriate here; an article is required.
Using "An" before "team" is incorrect because "team" begins with a consonant sound; "an" is used before vowel sounds.
