Problem : The team has a determination to gain a victory.
Solution (As per Manhattan SC book) :The team IS determined to win.
In the above concision problem, VAN the rule is used, i.e., prefer Verb over an Adjective/Adverb and an Adjective/Adverb over a noun. The noun DETERMINATION in the problem statement has been replaced by adjective 'DETERMINED'. Why can't we write this as below:
The team HAS determined to win.
In this form, DETERMINED is now verb, which is always preferred over an adjective.

Because
"is determined" = possessing will power
"has determined" = has figured out - usually followed by "that" + clause. Team has determined that its chances of winning next game is almost 100%.
These will mean two different things all together.
