The correct answers are **My group members are completely ignoring my messages.**, **You are the only one who understands my pain.**, and **This whole situation is a nightmare.**

> "My group members" is plural, so it takes **are**. 

> "You" always takes **are**.

> "This whole situation" is singular, so it takes **is**.

> "The deadline" is singular (should be *is*), and "I" always takes *am* (should be *I am*).
