1.     A group IS ...  (Not important who is in the group). A group is a singular, countable noun.
3.    Both wrong.     She went home half an hour ago. Given, finished time requires simple past UNLESS it relates to another action in the past. e.g. She had gone home before the others arrived.

4.    She has sold...  Indefinite (no time) past. Done, but we don't know (or care) when.
