Conventions depend on grammar, not a preferred sound.
主谓一致看中心词，逗号不能单独连接独立分句。
“The group of volunteers records outcomes” uses singular group. “Recording the result, Noor checked the card” attaches the modifier to Noor. Use a comma plus conjunction, semicolon or period to separate complete clauses.
修饰语须连接执行者，并列形式一致；its 表所有，it's 可展开为 it is。
