Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sentence is talking about "a few of the sports" who saw him play, suggesting that there were multiple individuals who recognized the player's talent. Therefore, the correct choice is the plural noun "writers" rather than the singular noun "writer." The sentence is discussing multiple individuals who recognized the player's skills, so the plural noun "writers" is the best fit. "Writer" would suggest only one person, which is not accurate to the sentence.
