Subject Verb Agreement
I found this sentence form the website and I wonder is it correct about subject verb agreement
A group of adorable baby goats decide to test their climbing skills using the back of a patient horse.
The subject is a group which is a singular subject so the verb should be decides. Am I correct?

Anintita The subject is a group which is a singular subject so the verb should be decides. 'Group' and some other group nouns like 'team' can be conceived of as either singular or plural depending on context. Here the complement 'adorable baby goats' exercises strong notional and proximal agreement for the plural choice.
