Opening modifier is calling for the subject: graveteiro

A group is singular si requires INCLUDES

And we also need IS not ARE

Finally, D and E are sentence fragments because of , which belongs to the ovenbird family,


I will go with B as well

Yes should be B

Group is a singular ... should be using the verb "is"
