Dear friends, I met a cloze text in my exam. I was puzzled by the first question, because the right answer was A (group), but I thought C(team) was also right. Could anybody show me the different between "group" and "team"?
Last Wednesday afternoon, a _1_ from our school visited Exbury Castle. It was built in the fourteenth century. When we arrived, we walked _2_ the grass in front of the castle to the main entrance.
( )1. A group B people C team D number
( )2. A off B along C above D across
A group is a number of people who have something in common such as belonging to a high school class and a term imply a group of people that have common goals that they are working together to achieve.
Such as a football team or a chess team or whatever.
@weiwei,
I think of "group" as a cluster of people. For example, the subway doors opened and a large "group" of folks ran up the stairs to 5th Avenue.
I think of "team" as a specialized sudivision of the "group". For example, the group ran through the subway doors, singing and laughing. Within this group of folks was a baseball" team", on it's way to a baseball practice.
I find it strange that while I disagree for the most part with Miller answer I can see no reason why his post received two vote downs.

I agree; good example.
A group need not be organized, un-like a team.
A group need not have a purpose or a mission, un-like a team.

Yes, that's very true. Dr. Miller is female. As far as the 2 votes down, there are several members who are following me around A2K all hours of the day and night and they are very busy marking my posts down.
Why? I don'tknow. I'don't care either....

I get that a lot too, and I join u in your not caring.
Several of us are getting that.

@weiwei,
The difference I see is a team is a group which works together to accomplish a goal.
A group is a number of individuals.
As there was no goal that this group was working on together then I would call them a group.

That's weird - I don't usually vote but I voted it up simply because it made no sense to vote down.
