As the beta can't understand the Polish characters yet; would "grupa" be in the nominative or instrumental here? (it accepts both A and Ą as correct.)

After such to (which means "is") it’s always the nominative

Is 'ludzi' the same in nominative as it is in genitive?

The nominative is ludzie. The genitive is ludzi. Here's the full declension.

Osób was not accepted. How is it different from ludzi? Thanks.

Well, 'osób' would be 'persons'. As "społeczeństwo" is a very large group (it's 'a society' in this dictionary meaning: A long-standing group of people sharing cultural aspects [...]), it's hard to talk about specific persons here. Osób is... too specific, it would be about some individuals.
