the team had practiced for a week, and felt ready to play.
comma no comma

Explanation:

When using a coordinating conjunction (here, "and") to connect two independent clauses? Wait, no—wait, let's check the clauses. Wait, "The team had practiced for a week" and "felt ready to play"—wait, actually, the second part "felt ready to play" is not an independent clause (it lacks a subject, but the subject is implied as "the team"). Wait, no, in the sentence, "The team had practiced for a week and felt ready to play"—the "and" connects two verbs ("had practiced" and "felt") in the same clause (same subject "the team"). So when a coordinating conjunction connects two verbs (or verb phrases) in the same independent clause (same subject), we don't use a comma. So the correct choice is "no comma".

Answer:

no comma
