Grammar
Use of have/has when followed by a singular entity.
Which of the following words fits best into the sentence?
Be careful of being followed by a group of spies that (have/has) just been seen walking into the adjacent building.
I understand how "has" is used with the singular "group," but re-reading the sentence with "has" does not seem to flow right to me.
