Question

Choose the grammatically correct sentence:

• A. The team are working on the project.
• B. The team is working on the project.
• C. The team were work on the project.
• D. The team is work on the project.

Hint:

For collective nouns like "team," use singular verbs unless referring to individuals within the group.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

- Step 1: Analyze subject-verb agreement. "Team" is a singular collective noun, requiring a singular verb ("is").
- Step 2: Check verb form. The present continuous tense ("working") is appropriate for ongoing action.
- Step 3: Evaluate options. Option (1) uses "are," incorrect for a singular subject. Option (2) uses "is working," correct for singular subject and tense. Option (3) uses "were work," incorrect verb form. Option (4) uses "is work," incorrect as it lacks the continuous form.
- Step 4: Verify. "The team is working" follows standard grammar for singular subjects and present continuous tense.
- Step 5: Conclusion. Option (2) is correct.
