The word that best replaces "group" in the passage is 2. committee.
In Congress, senators write new laws. Laws begin as bills. A senator sends a new bill to a "group" of other lawmakers. This gathering of lawmakers votes to leave the bill as it is, make changes to it, or table it. If they vote to table it, nothing else happens. If it needs changes, it gets sent back to the senator who wrote it.
