Hi.

the following sentence is a part of recommendation for a teaching position.



His affable behavior was a key to his success in building an instantaneous rapport with his students.

I like "affable" quite a bit. I prefer it. You should say "was key" rather than "was a key" in the sentence.

Could you please explain why a key to success is wrong?
