The answer is " The team is determined to win,"
and the book says "The team determines to win changes the meaning of the sentence".

Gurvinder, I have deleted your response because not only is it very obviously from a copyrighted source but it does NOTHING AT ALL to answer the original question..

6max, the phrase "be determined to" indicates a present mental state, which is appropriate in the example. The team is currently determined. "determine to" implies an action that takes place in the present, i.e. a one-time decision that causes a change in the mental state. Let’s say two days ago I had no interest in going to London. Yesterday I determined to go to London [in other words I decided in such a way that my mental state changed]. As a result of that decision, I can say that today I am determined to go to London..
