Members of bob's group interact awkwardly. there are periods of silence, broken by ambiguous, tentative, and occasionally uncertain comments. the group is probably experiencing which stage?

Forming phase

Explanation:

The first stage of team development is forming phase. It is like the orientation of the first day about the new job. It can be compared as it is going out for the first date in the new job. At this, the team is introduced and everyone is overly polite with everyone on the first day. This is the time when everyone wants to be introduced and want to know other team members.  

During the stage there is something that a person can discuss:

one way archaeology us understand the past is through the material objects it finds, allowing us to know what was being used, and when. for example a dig recently found a flute, believed to be the oldest musical instrument found to date.
