Beeesneees,

  2. The majority of a group ends their formal education with High School.
    Which one is correct?

It’s highly unlikely that you would actually say ‘the majority of a group’
‘a group’ would be defined (students, cyclists, people, etc). If it weren’t defined, then you might say ‘the majority of the group’ in which case it would be ‘ends’.

Beeesneees,
Are these sentences correct?

  1. A hundred years make a century.
  2. Only a minority of the members is in favour.

‘Make’ is correct - it is one block of years.

‘Is’ and ‘are’ are both possible, depending on your interpretation (a singular minority or a plural number of members). I would prefer ‘are’ there.
