Explanation:

The said query in MongoDB that retrieves all the documents with the listing_url, name, address, host_verifications, and size of host_verification fields from the listingsAndReviews collection that have at least 3 or more host verifications.

The $exists operator checks whether the "host_verifications" field exists in the "host" subdocument.

The $expr operator evaluates the $gte expression to compare the size of the "host_verifications" array in the "host" subdocument with 3, and ensures that the host has at least 3 verifications.

The $project stage includes the listing_url, name, address, host_verifications, and size of host_verification fields .

The $size operator calculates the size of the "host_verifications" array and it adds a new field named "host_verifications_count" to the output documents.
