15. No, I think it's more the way you would use "is" and "are"
We would say, the group IS such and such, the British would say, the group ARE such and such. So we would say, the group moved 'toward' and they would use 'towards'.

I actually use the word towards where appropriate. I lke British usage better sometimes.
