I also think so. It can be "in the meeting" and of course "was" is right answer.

Most of the members 'at' the meeting. I think 'in' the meeting and offers 'was' is right answer.

Agree with Vertika and Rameshraja. Group is a single entity.

"group" is a singular entity. Therefore, "was" is correct.
I think thats wrong, because the case is the singular.
So "was" is the correct.
