Which sentence uses the correct verb?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. The team of players is practicing today.
- Step 1: The subject is the singular noun 'team', so the verb must be singular. Answer: The team of players is practicing today. Why not the others: 'Are' and 'were' agree with 'players', which is only the object of the phrase; 'be' is not standard.
