-
A group of people has chosen
-
A group is a single entity. So it has chosen. People are many, they have chosen. You asked for information about the group, not what it was composed of. The group HAS chosen.
-
In American English, nouns that represent groups take singular nouns. In British English, they take plural nouns. Therefore, both are correct depending on which type of English you are using.
-
"A group of peoples done choseth."
