Ah, I see what you mean, Jamal. 'Forming' is more about the initial uncertainty, whereas 'Storming' is when the team is already established and is starting to butt heads. Yeah, I'm pretty sure 'Storming' is the right answer here.

You know, Mozell's got a point. 'Forming' does seem like it could be a contender here. But I think the key difference is that during 'Forming', the team is still trying to figure out their purpose, whereas in 'Storming', they've already been working together and are starting to question that purpose.

Okay, so it's pretty much unanimous that 'Storming' is the right answer. I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Although, I have to say, I'm a bit surprised that 'Forming' isn't an option. That's when the team is just getting started and there's usually a lot of uncertainty, right?

I agree with you both. The 'Storming' stage is where the team is trying to establish their identity and there's often a lot of conflict and resistance to the team's goals. It makes sense that suspicion and anxiety would be most prevalent during this stage.

Hmm, yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The 'Storming' stage just feels like the most logical choice here. That's when the team is really trying to find their footing and there's bound to be some tension and uncertainty.

This question seems a bit tricky. I'm not entirely sure about the stages of team development, but I feel like expressing suspicion and anxiety would be more in the 'Storming' stage, when the team is trying to figure out their roles and responsibilities.
