"Angular uses the MVC design pattern and embraces that pattern completely. The model, view and controller are all clearly defined in AngularJS and serve to greatly simplicity the development process."

There are two errors. Language and information.

First:
Although English is not my native language, I believe it should be "serve to greatly _simplify_"

Second:
Angular doesn't completely embrace the MVC pattern. In fact it's very controversial to claim a pattern for angular. there are two camps as far as I know, MVC and MVVM. Which is why, I think, Google's official stance is that it's MVW(Model-View-Whatever)

for a different view see this video:

You could argue your case for MVC, but in its current state it sounds very opinionated, arguably even untrue. If nothing else you might want to rephrase it.
